Concubinage Or Marriage Of Pleasure In The Bible This is Chapter 9 from the book Islam In The Bible by Professor Ali Haydar (Thomas McElwain). This is a truly unique piece of research. It looks at the topic of Mutah from the angle of the Bible. In this work Professor Ali Haydar shows how a form of Mutah was practiced by the Ancient Prophets of Israel, including Abraham (pbuh), David (pbuh), and Solomon (pbuh). He has used the word “concubinage” to refer to the specific form of Mutah as practiced in Biblical times. Please note that the rules of concubinage which can be inferred from the Bible are not necessarily the same as the rules of Mutah according to Islam.
