{{cquotequote|bgcolor=#F0FFF0|The scholar of [[Mecca]], [[Abu Walid of Mecca|Abu Walid]] stated '''Abdul Malik bin Abdul Aziz bin Jurayj''' was a servant of the [[Banu Umayya]] and was amongst the [[Fuqaha]] of Mecca, he has many appellations, and is counted amongst the great [[ulama]], he was born a few years after 70 Hijri, and he met the great Sahaba. [[Ahmad Ibn Hanbal]] said "'''Ibn Jurayj''' was a treasure of knowledge". [[Jarir]] commented that Ibn Jurayj deemed [[Mut'ah]] to be permissible, and he contracted Mut'ah with 70 women. [[Ibn Abdul Hakim]] stated "heard from [[Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi`i|Imam Shafi'i]] says Ibn Jurayj contracted Mut'ah with 90 women".<ref>[[Tadhkirat al-huffaz]] Volume 1 pages 170 -171</ref>}}
{{cquotequote|bgcolor=#F0FFF0|Abdul Malik Ibn Jurayj was one the great men of knowledge, he was [[Thiqah|Thiqa]] (reliable) and authoritative, he performed Mut'ah with seventy women, deeming this practise to be halaal.<ref>[[Al-Kamal fi ma`rifat al-rijal|Tadheeb al Tadheeb of Al-Dhahabi]], Volume 6 p. 06</ref>}}
[[Abu Uwana]] narrated in his ''Sahih'' that Ibn Jurayj said in [[Basra]] about [[Mut'ah]]: "Bear witness that I have reverted back from it (from allowing it)", after he told them 18 narrations that it is okay.<ref>Talkhis al-Habeer, by [[Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani]], vol 3, page 160, printed in [[Medina]] in 1964.</ref>
===Non-Muslim view===
[[Harald Motzki]], a 21st-century [[Non-Muslim Islamic scholar]] states:
{{cquotequote|bgcolor=#F0FFF0|Such a diversity can hardly be the result of systematic forgery, but, rather, must have developed over the course of time. We must therefore-until the contrary is proven-start from the assumption that the traditions for which Ibn Jurayj expressly states a person as his source really came from that informant, and thus Ibn Jurayj's transmission, in my opinion, should be regarded as authentic.}}
