The Best Form of Jihad for Women

SUMMARY: The best form of Jihad for women is Hajj-Mabrur, which is done according to the Prophet's tradition and accepted by Allah.

Narrated 'Aisha: (That she said), "O Allah's Messenger ! We consider Jihad as the best deed. Should we not fight in Allah's Cause?" He said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj-Mabrur (ie Hajj which is done according to the Prophet's tradition and is accepted by Allah).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُرَى الْجِهَادَ أَفْضَلَ الْعَمَلِ، أَفَلاَ نُجَاهِدُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَكِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
According to the hadith narrated by Aisha, it is said that the best form of jihad for women is Hajj-Mabrur. This means that a woman should perform her pilgrimage in accordance with the traditions set forth by Prophet Muhammad and accepted by Allah. It is important to note that this does not mean that women are not allowed to fight in battle, but rather it implies that performing a pilgrimage according to Islamic law can be just as rewarding as fighting in battle. Furthermore, this hadith also serves as an example of how Islam values both men and women equally; while men are encouraged to fight in battle if they are able, women can still gain rewards from Allah through other means such as performing a pilgrimage correctly.
