If a young girl is raped before she is baligh 1) is she held responcible? 2) has she lost her vaginity? 3)what is the best she can do to ask forgiveness from allah?

Answer

We do not know the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate incident of the girl being raped and therefore our response is based on a general situation.

If the girl is raped, she has become a victim and is not responsible. However, every person should seek the forgiveness of Allah as much as possible.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
