What is the ruling on a woman going out to jihad with her husband?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, yes. Yes, yes, yes. It is as in the authentic hadith. The best fire. If the request is prescribed, and the jihad of the woman is as it was in the first era, and this is not realized today. But I return to remind you: do not look into hypothetical matters, because men today do not go out to jihad, so women do not go out to jihad. And in you, if Allah wills, and peace be upon you. And the achievement in Palestine in Algeria.
The questioner : In Algeria?
The Shaykh : It is a strange thing, these Muslims here.
The questioner : There is no power nor strength except by Allah, this is something other than this news, meaning, meaning
The Shaykh : These people do not think, nor do they fish in murky water, yes.
The questioner : Is this new news?
The Shaykh : Now you are speaking, and I also heard before; one of the young men informed me of this news and I told our brothers.
The questioner : This is from Morocco, the one speaking with me is from Algeria?
The Shaykh : From Algeria.
The questioner : This is strange.
The Shaykh : A married woman.
The questioner : Yes, she wants to go out without her husband's permission?
The Shaykh : No, on the contrary, she is truly a jurist and good. She informed me and confirmed the previous news for me. The previous news I heard from a young man from Algeria, now she confirmed it. That the front has opened the door for volunteering for jihad in Palestine. This branched off from her question after I inquired of her and said to her, meaning, is this news true? She said, I think so. I said to her, perhaps your assumption is the assumption of a believer. She said yes, because my husband is one of these volunteers. And the witness to the last question is that her husband asked her to go with him to jihad, so is it obligatory for her?
The questioner : So I answered her that your seclusion.
The Shaykh : The Hajj and 'Umrah, the jihad was the Hajj and 'Umrah.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
Your jihad is the Hajj and 'Umrah
