Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to leave the maid in the house with the husband and the children if the departure is for a pressing need?

Answer:
It is not permissible; this is seclusion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A man is not alone with a woman butما خلى رجل بامرأة إلا كان
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2165Sahih (Darussalam)
The third one is from Satan. Children do not remove the state of seclusion; only an adult male or female removes it. As for children, they do not remove the seclusion. Yes.
