The muslim scholars have difference opinion about the law of the such marriage. Like any other issues in Islam, it has been a point of controversy and argument, especially among theologians. In this case, some allow, some prohibit and some others are in quo status called tawaqquf in deciding the rule and regulation of such marriage. This study examines the opinions of contemporary muslim scholars based on maqa>s}id shari>’ah perspective, to see which opinion should be prioritized and selected by considering aspects of maqa>s}id shari>’ah in connection with marital contexts, and considering its benefits and harms as a result of the maqa>s}id shari>’ah. The method used in this study was library research or text study (study of documents). The results of this study concluded that the banning of misya>r marriage –certaintly in the context of Indonesian society – was mostly in line with maqa>s}id shari>’ah in a broad sense, that is, to achieve its benefits and prevent its disadvantages
