Is it permissible for a maid who has no mahram (a relative one may not marry) to perform 'Umrah with the family for whom she works?

Question:
The questioner says: I have a maid, and she has no mahram. Is it permissible for her to perform 'Umrah with me and my wife?

Answer:
There is no doubt that both options are difficult. If you leave her behind and come back, there is danger in that; she may be lost or someone may take advantage of her, or Satan may lead her astray. And if you bring her with you, you are bringing her without a mahram. So both options have their problems, but the lesser of the two harms is that you bring her, taking care of her, and she performs 'Umrah with you. This is the lesser of the two harms. Yes.
