Why is jihad more important to men than women?
Answer 1It is not true. Jihad is important for both men and women. There are two types of Jihad. Self Jihad that means struggling to obey God commands and striving to get His satisfaction and blessings. The other type of Jihad is military Jihad that is in the early centuries was only withing men and supported by women for medical service and other social requirements.Answer 2When most Non-Muslims refer to Jihad, they are talking about the Lesser Jihad, which is to say military action on behalf of the Umma or Islamic Nation. The reason that women do not actively participate in this more violent form of Jihad is simply cultural misogyny that is dominant in most Muslim-majority countries and most Islamic communities. There have been increasing pushes towards gender equality, however, in acts of violent Jihad. For example, about 5% of Palestinian suicide bombers in the Second Intifada were women. However, in more traditional paramilitaries like ISIL, the cultural view of male superiority is more difficult to overcome than suicide bombing where it is clear that a woman can confer strategic advantages (such as hiding a bomb as a "pregnancy bump").

Jihad, that means in English striving or struggleing, is of two types:self Jihad (or oneself struggle and is called the greatest or greater Jihad), andmilitary Jihad (or struggle with others and is called the smallest or lesser Jihad)Regarding lesser (or Military ) Jihad, it is licit only in two cases:First: to defend home land and home people against any invaders.Second: to provide help and support to other people who are oppressed and unable to practice their own will and freedom of choice.Self Jihad is that any Muslim should practice Jihad or self struggle to avoid doing wrong deeds and/or committing sins that are forbidden by Islam and by his community. It is also doing good things that Allah wants you to do, such as following the morals of Quran and prophet Muhammad (PBUH), reciting the Quran, helping the poor, striving to fulfil your family requirements, learning and studying useful sciences and arts, etc.In both cases, Muslims (as in all other faiths) are commanded, by their religion, to be fair and just. They are forbidden; by Quran and prophet Muhammad teachings; to kill a woman, child, or an old man or any civilian. They are commanded not to be excessive in using force and not to terrify civilians. They are forbidden from spoiling the nature, cutting a tree, or polluting/poisoning air or water.
