Musnad Ahmad 351

Translation

✧ He used to give a fatwa allowing mut'a [temporary marriage]. A man said to him: "Go easy with some of your fatwas, for you do not know what the Commander of the Faithful has introduced in the rites after you." Until he met him later and asked him, and 'Umar said: "I know that the Prophet ﷺ did it and his Companions, but I disliked that they should remain with them, having intercourse in the arak trees, then go on to the Hajj with their heads dripping."
