Sex jihad or Sexual jihad is the practice of Muslim women offering themselves in consensual sex to jihadis fighting for the establishment of Islamic rule. Sex jihad is considered by some Islamic clerics as a legitimate form of jihad, because the Muslim women offer their chastity for the cause of Islam. Sex jihad apparently help the jihadis focus better on the war. Saudi Wahabi cleric Sheikh Mohammad Abdul Rahman al Arifi allegedly issued a fatwa called Jihad ul Nikaah, that called for women supporters to come forward for sex jihad and boost the mujahideen fighting the Bashar al Assad regime in Syria. The fatwa is based on the interpretation that Muslim women can go to Heaven only though the way of jihad. According to Wahabi clerics, Muslim women can earn the virtues of jihad by serving the sexual needs of the mujahideen fighting the Bashar al Assad regime in the Syrian Civil War. Sources close to Sheikh Mohammad al Arifi denied issuing the fatwa. On the basis of the fatwa, young Tunisian Muslim girls travelled to Syria to serve as sex jihadis.
