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

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
