Question

Is it permissible to ask a potential spouse whether they are a virgin?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

The right thing to ask about is the potential spouse's religion, character, and personality. In general, it is not permitted to talk about past sins or indiscretions, as the answers below explain.
