The ruling on a husband saying to his wife, "You are not a virgin"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I married a woman, and no blood came out on the night of the wedding. I told her on several occasions, "You are not a virgin." Then I divorced her after a period of time. Does my statement to her count as falsely accusing her of zina?
Answer:
Yes. This is not permissible. This statement, "You are not a virgin," means that you have had sexual intercourse before. This is a terrible statement.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
