Is a woman who dies during Hajj, which is considered a form of Jihad for women without fighting, according to the Hadith of Aisha, counted as a martyr in the path of Allah?
Hajj is the jihad for women. It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) about women's jihad, and he said: "Yes, there is a jihad for them in which there is no fighting: Hajj and '."
It has not been reported that the death of a woman during Hajj necessitates for her the reward of martyrdom. However, for one who intended martyrdom and strived for Hajj out of a desire for jihad, it is hoped that she will attain the reward of martyrdom due to the sincerity of her intention, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever sincerely asks Allah for martyrdom, Allah will make him reach the status of the martyrs, even if he dies on his bed."
