The partial objective of not obligating jihad on children, women, slaves, the sick, and others with valid excuses, according to Ibn al-Humam.

Jihad on children, women, slaves, the sick, and others with valid excuses, as articulated by Imam Ibn al-Humam in his book "Fath al-Qadeer." The research aims to clarify the jurisprudential reasons behind exempting these groups from the obligation of jihad, supported by evidence from the Quran, Sunnah, and scholarly opinions.

The study reveals that Islamic law considers the circumstances of these groups: children are not obligated due to their lack of legal responsibility, women are occupied with their household duties, slaves are bound to serve their masters, and the sick are unable to endure the hardships of combat. This exemption reflects a significant jurisprudential objective, which is to balance the performance of duties with the preservation of lives and interests, in line with Sharia principles such as "removing hardship" and "facilitation.".
