Can a female Muslim join the army?

Right, listen very carefully, this is actually quite simple.

I said that prayers can be delayed in the case of battle. I quoted scholars and sahaba in support. Muhammad himself delayed prayer during battle.

You claimed that prayer cannot be delayed under any circumstances, but failed to provide and references. You are demonstrably wrong.

Now you are arguing that prayers cannot be missed. That is a straw man as I never claimed that they could be, only that they can be delayed.

Hence the ruling upon the groups that I have mentioned already. That is one type of prevention should a Muslim want to go and battle in the army.

Talking about dying in prayer, this is the most preferred method of dying of a Muslim ask any true Muslim today, how would they like to pass away their answer would be in postration.

It has happened many times before that particular Muslims were lucky to pass away in such a position.

I’m 15 years old, nearly 16, and I am a practising Muslim. Both my parents follow Islam and I have always been brought up to follow the religion. I do love my religion and I am a strong believer of equality and helping others. I’ve been interested in the army for a long time but always been told that either I couldn’t because I’m a girl, or because of my religion. I’m school we have been talking about going to war in r.s and it says that in Islam if that if we are told by our government to fight in a just war then we can. I’m just confused on whether I should or shouldn’t. I’ve only read about men who have joined the army and that it’s fine, so Is it the same for women?

If someone could answer this I’d be extremely great full.


P.s if I have stated anything that’s wrong or anything then I apologise it’s just what I’ve been taught.

If you are talking during the Battle of Badr our Beloved prophet Muhammad(SAW) did not perform prayer but he made dua, there's a clear difference in there.

Well, Muhammad obviously thought that victory in battle was preferable to a pointless and avoidable death.

The Army is not all about helping others. In peacetime, very much so (as well as in wartime to a lesser extent), but you are trained killers. That's what a soldier is. Simply cogs in a machine. To the people in power, you are expendable.

You do know there are about 70 different roles in the Army, and only a tiny portion of those involve closing with the enemy?

Tell me exactly how an Army vet, or an Army surgeon, or an Army chef is a trained killer?

What would a lazy Marxist like yourself know? Get off the internet and get a job you pleb.

Battle of Ahzab*

Should one do it with the intention of Allah in mind, he would come to assist. Take the battle of Uhud as an example.

The battle before could not be compared to the numbers of individuals present in the army today. They had a battlefield in which it portrays the number of individuals that they were fighting, today it's a different story.

Pointless? and avoidable? Do you know the exact time and place you are going to pass away?

I'm not a Marxist + I'm a student.
The truth hurts, I know.

For christ's sake, the girl just wanted to know whether she can join the army. You don't need to post a complete history of warfare in Islam.

A student which means you haven't worked a day in your life. So you should shut your mouth before criticising other professions.

I would strongly advice against stopping to have a prayer in the middle of a battle. It would make you a sitting target.
