What is the ruling on hymen repair surgery for a girl who was raped when she was young, given that she will be killed if she does not have it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The sister who was subjected to rape is not obligated to inform her family or fiancé about what happened, especially if there is a danger to her life or honor should they learn of the loss of her virginity. It is permissible for her to undergo a hymen repair surgery out of necessity, and her marriage to a righteous man is acceptable.
