Commentary
1. If one's staying at home is necessary, for instance, to look after one's parents, etc., then one should not proceed for Jihâd.
2. Then strive... means the fulfillment of the household obligations is more important for him than going for Jihâd. Therefore, even for fulfilling these obligations, he would be given the recompense of Jihâd.
