The answer

Lesbianism is forbidden by scholarly consensus and is considered a grave sin. Its perpetrator must engage in sincere repentance by abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it, and she must conceal her past. Losing virginity at a young age is not a justification for not marrying or for fearing marriage, and there is no obligation to inform the husband of its cause, as it can be lost for many reasons. It is advisable to accept a righteous husband, and it is permissible for a woman to offer herself to a righteous man according to Islamic guidelines. It is recommended to draw closer to Allah, keep company with righteous women, and frequently engage in remembrance of Allah and supplication, for whoever fears Allah, He will make a way out for them, and whoever relies on Him, He is sufficient for them.
