Can woman engage in jihaad?
Question

                Is jihaad not obligatory
      (waajib) for women – whether it is jihaad by making da’wah or by
      fighting the kuffaar?
Praise be to Allah.Jihaad
      against the kuffaar by fighting is not obligatory for women, but they must
      make jihaad by calling others to the truth (da’wah) and teaching them
      about Islam, within the limits that will protect them and wearing the
      clothes that cover their ‘awrah. They should not mix with non-mahram men
      or speak in soft voices or be alone with non-mahram men. Allaah said
      concerning the wives of the Messenger of Allaah 
 (peace and blessings
      of Allaah be upon him):
“And
      remember (O you members of the Prophet’s family), the Graces of your
      Lord), that which is recited in your houses of the Verses of Allaah and
      Al-Hikmah (i.e. Prophet’s Sunnah)” [al-Ahzaab 33:34]
It
      was reported that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: I
      said, O Messenger of Allaah, do women have to do any kind of jihaad? He
      said, “Yes, they have to do the kind of jihaad in which there is no
      fighting: Hajj and ‘Umrah.” (Reported
      by Ahmad, 6/68; Ibn Maajah, 2/968).
It
      was also reported that she said: O Messenger of Allaah, we see that jihaad
      is the best of deeds. Can we not engage in jihaad? He said, “But the
      best of jihaad is an accepted Hajj.” (Narrated
      by Ahmad, 6/67’ al-Bukhaari, 2/141).
And
      Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad
      and his family and companions, and grant them peace.
