Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: If a virgin woman marries and is divorced before she is consummated, is she called a virgin or a non-virgin?

Answer:
No, my brother. The woman who has previously been married is the one who has been consummated and whose virginity has been lost. This is the woman who has previously been married, whether she was consummated through a valid contract, without a contract, through zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), or under a false impression. The important thing is that she was consummated and her virginity was lost. This is the woman who has previously been married. As for the one who has not been consummated, she is the virgin. He did not change them. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said regarding the houris:
untouched before them by man or jinni -لَمْ يَطْمِثْهُنَّ إِنسٌ قَبْلَهُمْ وَلَا جَانٌّ
[Ar-Rahman 55:56]
Yes.
