Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a woman’s virginity is lost without zina or intercourse under doubt, but for example by slipping, is she classified with women who have had sexual intercourse or with virgins?
The Shaykh : This is a matter for consideration. That is, if a woman’s virginity is lost due to illness, a fall from something, or something similar, can she be called a woman who has had sexual intercourse? It appears that she is not, because she has not tasted the pleasure of intercourse. Therefore, if she committed zina in this state, she would not be stoned to death. Yes.
