عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حِطَّانَ السَّدُوسِيِّ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَعَلَى النِّسَاءِ جِهَادٌ، قَالَ: ((الْحَجُّ وَالْعُمْرَةُ هُوَ جِهَادُ النِّسَاءِ))
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Is jihad also obligatory upon women? He replied: Hajj and Umrah are the jihad for women.
