Is there a way to verify virginity without seeing a doctor, in order to alleviate doubt and pangs of conscience before marriage, especially since the questioner feels that she is still a virgin?
The questioner is advised to ignore her whispers and delusions after her repentance and Allah's concealment of her past, and not to inform her fiancé or anyone else about what she did. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Avoid these abominations that Allah has forbidden. Whoever commits any of them should conceal himself with Allah's concealment and repent to Allah, for whoever exposes himself to us, we will apply Allah's كتاب (law) upon him."
If her husband asks her and she is not a virgin, she may allude to him that virginity can be lost due to many things, such as heavy menstruation, riding on sharp objects, and masturbation. There is no need to confirm with a doctor unless it is absolutely necessary. She should not refrain from marriage, even if she is not a virgin, for that might expose her to haram and submission to the whispers of Satan. She should repel these whispers through remembrance of Allah, reading the Quran, and sincere repentance.
