Islam considers marriage a strong bond and a binding contract based upon both partners' intention to live together permanently in order to attain, as individuals, the benefit of the repose, affection, and mercy mentioned in the Qur'an. In addition, its purpose is to attain the social goal of reproduction and perpetuation of the human species:

God has made for you spouses of your own kind, and has made for you from your spouses children and grandchildren, and has provided you with pure, wholesome things. Do they, then, believe in falsehood and associate partners with God in denial of His blessings? (16:72)

Temporary marriage (mut'a), which is contracted by two people to marry for a specified period of time in exchange for a specified sum of money, does not realize the above-mentioned purposes of marriage. Thus, there is no room for it in Islam.
