Does masturbating cause a girl to lose her virginity?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Masturbation is forbidden (haram), and it may, in rare cases, lead to the rupture of the hymen. The sister should cast away obsessive thoughts as long as she has repented and shown remorse. If her husband asks her about the reason for the hymen's rupture, she should not disclose the reason to him directly; rather, she should equivocate, unless she fears his suspicion, in which case she should inform him that the reason was masturbation.
