The answer

Masturbation can lead to the rupture of the hymen. However, the absence of the hymen does not indicate a lack of chastity, as it can be lost due to other causes. We advise the sister to repent and remain steadfast in her repentance, to stay away from provocations, and not to tell anyone about her past. It is impermissible to visit a doctor for a hymen examination, as this involves unnecessarily exposing one's 'awrah. She should put her trust in Allah and not inform the suitor. If the hymen is absent after marriage, she should inform her husband that it can be lost due to many reasons, and show him relevant fatwas.
