Umm Sumayyah al Muhajirah
Umm Sumayyah al Muhajirah is the pen-name of a Daesh propagandist, known for provocative views published in Daesh publications.[1][2] This writer presents themselves as a Bride of Daesh. No one has been able to tie the pen-name to a real-world identity.
The writer was particularly noted for defending the practice of Daesh fighters making sex-slaves of female captives.[1][2][3][4][5] Al Muhajirah claimed keeping sex-slaves had been an accepted Islamic practice, in the past.
Articles under the al Muahjirah pen-name were published in five consecutive issues of Dabiq magazine.[6] Their titles were: "To Our Sisters: The Twin Halves of the Muhajirin" (6 pages), "From Our Sisters: Slave-Girls or Prostitutes?" (6 pages), "From Our Sisters: They Are Not Lawful Spouses for One Another" (7 pages), "To Our Sisters: A Jihad Without Fighting" (6 pages), "To Our Sisters: Two or Three or Four" (4 pages).
Julia Musial, writing in the Journal for deradicalization, concluded that the writer was a volunteer from another Arab country.[6]
Charles Cameron, of Arizona State University's Center for Strategic Communication, quoted from the denunciation of the excessive luxuries of western societies, in a comparison with the posing of five Australian Brides of Daesh, on the expensive sports car Zehra Duran inherited from her jihadi husband.[7]
In an article entitled "Women in Islamist Extremist Magazines: ‘Five Ways To Please Your Jihadi Husband’" quote al Muhajirah's advice to good muslim wives to be tolerant when their husbands decide to marry additional wives.[8]
Maren Hald Bjørgum, writing in Global Politics Review, quoted extensively from al-Muhajirah, noting that this was probably a "fabricated name".[4] She quoted al-Muhajirah's support for using violence to enforce an extreme Islamic regime.

The European Journal of International Security also noted the writer's support for slavery, and using violence to enforce an extreme Islamic regime.[5]
