Is it part of jihad for women to bandage the wounds of the fighters?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does women’s participation in bandaging the wounds of the fighters count as jihad for them?

Answer:
This is if there is a pressing need for it, as was done during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They help to the extent of their ability, while observing the hijab and being careful about seclusion with non-mahrams, meaning while observing the limits of the Shari'ah. It is hoped that they will receive the reward of jihad, if Allah wills, but this is a specific type of jihad in assisting the mujahideen.
