The Woman Divorced Before Consummation: Virgin or Non-Virgin

The questioner:
Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: If a virgin woman marries and is divorced before she is consummated, is she called a virgin or a non-virgin?

The Shaykh:
Because it is a promise from Allah, perhaps a promise from Allah, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) does not break His promise. Yes. What?

The questioner:
He asks: If a virgin woman marries and is divorced before she is consummated, is she called a virgin or a non-virgin?

The Shaykh:
No, my brother. The non-virgin is the one who has been consummated and whose virginity has been lost; this is the non-virgin, whether she was consummated through a contract, without a contract, through fornication, or through a doubtful matter. The important thing is that she was consummated and her virginity was lost; this is the non-virgin. As for the one who has not been consummated, she is the virgin. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said regarding the houris: Yes.
