The Ruling on a Bad Custom Practiced in Some Countries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: In some countries, they like to see the blood of virginity on the cloth, so they announce it during the day. If a man finds that his wife does not have the blood of virginity and wants to cover it up, they force him to leave her and divorce her. Is it permissible for them to return his money to him?
Answer: If it is necessary, this can be done in another way. He can use blood from other than the virginity if it is necessary that something be shown according to their customs, and if he does not do so, they may accuse her of unlawful sexual intercourse. He can place some other blood on the cloth for the sake of covering people’s faults. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2544Sahih (Darussalam)
