sleeping around is bad, it has societal, social, moral implications but then i see guys in beards throw around words like misyar and mutaah. what is that all about and why does it make any sense.

1. Guys in beards do not automatically represent Islam and/or Muslims
2. Mutah is not allowed in any Sunni school of thought, it is only practiced by Shias. Rest of Muslims all consider it totally haraam, it is not a real marriage it is only zinna
3. Misyar is allowed as long as it fulfills all the requirements of Islamic marriage (like approval of wali, witnesses, mahr, public announcement of union etc). Basically the only difference is that the wife stays in a seperate residence and the husband is not financially responsible for her. This is her right whether she wants to agree to this or not. If she says no, then husband is Islamically obliged to provide for her, care for her etc. There is nothing wrong with this. Whats wrong is when they do it in secret, or dont get approval from the wali or dont make the marriage public and are just sneaking around ----then it just becomes too much like prostitution or something!!
