The answer

Satan is keen on causing discord between spouses and approaches a person by casting doubt on his wife's chastity. The absence of blood during the first intercourse does not imply a woman's lack of chastity. The hymen might be elastic, or it might be ruptured due to other reasons such as sports. Furthermore, the husband might not see the blood due to its scarcity and its mixing with secretions. Therefore, it is not permissible for a man to doubt his wife's chastity simply because blood was not present, for the absence of blood does not signify a lack of chastity, nor does its presence guarantee chastity. If the wife is chaste and possesses faith and good character, the husband should seek refuge in Allah from Satan and not doubt her without clear evidence.
