Jainism teaches that the path to moksha (liberation) is open to all living beings, regardless of caste, gender, or social status. According to Jain philosophy, every soul (jiva) has the inherent potential to attain moksha by following the right path of samyak darshan (right faith), samyak jnan (right knowledge), and samyak charitra (right conduct).

However, Jain scriptures also mention that certain conditions or karmic bonds may temporarily prevent some beings from attaining moksha in a particular birth. For example:

• Nigoda jivas (lowest forms of life) do not have the capacity for spiritual progress in their current state.
• Bhavya and Abhavya: Only Bhavya jivas (those destined for liberation) can attain moksha; Abhavya jivas (not destined for liberation) cannot.
• In the present time cycle (Avasarpini), according to the Digambara tradition, women cannot attain moksha in their current female birth, but can do so after being reborn as men. However, the Svetambara tradition believes women can attain moksha.

In summary, Jainism holds that ultimately every soul has the potential for moksha, but due to karmic conditions, some may not be eligible in a particular lifetime or form. The ultimate goal remains open to all, as souls continue to reincarnate and shed karmas through right effort.
