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 condemned for defending the practice of Daesh fighters making sex-slaves of female captives.[1][2] 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.[3] 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.[3]
