Does a disbeliever's rape of a fasting girl invalidate her fast?
The raped woman bears no sin, nor does she owe any make-up prayers (qada') or expiation (kaffara), if she exerted her utmost effort in resisting and was unable to escape. This is because one who is coerced is not held accountable for their actions. The proof for this is Allah's saying: "Except for those who are forced [to recant] while their hearts are secure in faith," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has pardoned for my Ummah their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and what they are coerced into."
Women are advised to fear Allah, avoid mixing with men, refrain from ostentatious display (tabarruj), and anything that might tempt men, and to adhere to the hijab and modesty.
