What is the ruling on bringing in a non-Muslim maid, or one without a mahram?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on bringing in maids from abroad without a mahram, and if she is a disbeliever, what is the ruling on bringing her in?

Answer:
A disbeliever: it is not permissible to employ a disbeliever, nor a disbeliever man. It is not permissible to employ disbelievers in the lands of the Muslims, whether you make them stay in your house or with your children; it is not permissible. This is not permissible, except for employing disbelievers for jobs that the state requires and which only they can do well, such as consultants or engineers; that is possible. But bringing in individuals to be in their homes, that is not permissible. This is regarding the bringing in of disbelievers. As for bringing in a maid without a mahram, every woman, every woman, it is not permissible for her to travel without a mahram, whether she is a maid or not.
