Question:
Salam, I wanted to inquire regarding a sister, who needs to see a gyneacologist as she has an issue with her ovaries, as she misses her monthly cycle very often. Is it permissible for her to go ahead with the process as she is a virgin?
Answer:
It is permissible for a virgin sister to see a gynecologist. The gynecologist can check her ovaries by sticking her fingers in anus rather than vaginally. In any case the sister wanting to keep her hymen intact should tell her gynecologist that she is virgin to avoid damaging the hymen. But what needs to be known is that some virgins don’t bleed when having sex. The husband is to trust her wife’s claim regarding her virginity.
