What is the meaning of the hadith regarding staying in a post for a day and a night in the path of Allah, and do women fall under this?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. In her second question, she asks: Staying in a post for a day and a night, when does this apply to a woman so that she can be consistent in it?

Answer:
Is this regarding jihad in the path of Allah? A woman is not required to perform the jihad of staying in a post. This occurs at the frontier posts of Muslim lands, where they stay to prevent any disbeliever or enemy from sneaking into Muslim lands. This is staying in a post in the path of Allah the Exalted. The woman strives in worship and obedience in her home, and she is in a good state, if Allah wills. Praise be to Allah.
