Artificial Virginity Is Unlawful

Question:

What is the ruling concerning artificial virginity?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

It is unlawful to undergo any operation to get artificial virginity as this includes many sinful acts.

First, it cannot be done except through the exposure of the ‘Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in Islam –and here it means exposing the private parts) and this is forbidden except in dire necessity and this is not a necessity.

Second, such an operation can encourage some weak ill-mannered women to commit Zina.

Finally, this operation can be done to deceive the future husband of this girl and this is forbidden.

Allah knows best.
