The answer

A woman who is a victim of rape must endure patiently, seek reward from Allah, and conceal herself with Allah's concealment. There is no sin upon her as long as she was coerced, and no legal punishment (hadd) is to be carried out against her according to Islamic law. The texts of revelation have clarified that there is no sin upon one who is compelled to do an act that they dislike and do not consent to. Allah Almighty said: "Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief, except for one who is coerced while his heart is at peace with faith." And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has forgiven my nation for their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and what they are coerced into."
