Is Jihad also compulsory for women?

Answer

Jihad and Tableegh to the masses are not obligations which Islam places on females. Islam has made incumbent Jihad and Tableegh on only males. Even Jumuah Salaat, Jamaat Salaat and Eid Salaat have not been made obligatory for females. Earning an income has not been made obligatory on women. It is the duty of the males of the family to maintain and support the womenfolk. These few examples should convey to you Islam's emphasis on females remaining out of the public domain. The role of the female according to Islam, is in the home sanctuary. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the "Jihad of women is Hajj".
