Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz, may God have mercy on him, said:
The sections of jihad
With life, money, supplication, guidance, and helping in good by any means, the greatest jihad is jihad with oneself, then jihad with money, and jihad with opinion and guidance, and the call is also from jihad, so jihad with the soul is the highest. Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baz (7/334, 335)
1- The Greater Jihad (jihad against the soul and against Satan)
As for striving against oneself, it is to learn the matters of the religion and then to act upon them, to teach it and be patient with that, and as for fighting Satan, to o pay the suspicions that come with him, and what adorns it of cravings.
Allah says
وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (69)
And those who strive for Us, We will guide them to Our paths, and indeed, Allah is with the benefactors (69)
Abdullah bin Abbas said
And those who strive in obedience to us, we will guide them to the paths of our reward, this deals with the general obedience of all sayings.
2 - The Great Jihad
Almighty saying
فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُم بِهِ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا {الفرقان:52}

God and His angels and the people of the heavens and the earth, even the ant, in its hole and even to the whale, so that they may pray for the teacher of the people: the goodness.
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
(He who calls to guidance will have a reward like the rewards of whoever follows him does not detract from their wages something.” Narrated by Muslim (2674)
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, may God have mercy on him, said
It does not mean that the martyr is greater in reward than the seeker of knowledge, In obtaining martyrdom, if he is killed in the cause of God Almighty, absolute virtue is not required of him.
Ibn Al-Qayyim said in (Al-Nuniyah)
If a person is distinguished by a characteristic, it is not necessary for him to be the best at all, the martyr, even if he distinguished himself by martyrdom in the cause of God Almighty, but it is at the hands of the seeker of knowledge and scholars in the interest of the nation, spreading the call that is not in the Diwan of the Martyr, who was diligent in the request, quick to understand, strong to memorize, known for genius: It is better to seek knowledge for him, especially if he is weak and he does not have sufficient knowledge of the methods of war and fighting.
Allah says
وَمَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لِيَنفِرُوا كَافَّةًۚ فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَائِفَةٌ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ ولِيُنذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُون(122)
And the believers would not have set out all together, were it not for a group from every sect of them to learn the religion, and let them warn their people when they return to them, that they may be warned (122)
Al-Nafir: The people are marching to fight
Note: God - the Exalted - called learning Islamic knowledge (Nafeer)

Go forth, light and heavy, and strive with your wealth and yourselves in the cause of God [At-Tawbah: 41]
The Messenger, peace be upon him, said when Aisha said
O Messenger of God! We see the Better deeds Al - Jihad, do we not strive? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: You must perform jihad, in which there is no fighting, Hajj and Umrah.

The Prophet turned to his companions with his whole face and then said: Have you ever heard a woman say something better than questioning her about her religion than this one? They said: O Messenger of God, we did not think that a woman would be guided to such a thing, The Prophet turned to her and said: Understand, O woman, and inform the women behind you, It is good for a woman to be obedient to her husband (i.e. her good company with him) her seek for his pleasure and followed his consent, all of this is amended, so the woman left while she was rejoicing.
Scholars differed whether a woman should wage jihad with her money
