The ruling on placing a surveillance device on a maid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: She has a Muslim maid, and she wants to know what this maid is doing with her children while she is away from the house, especially since she works as a teacher. She wants to buy a surveillance device that records sound and video on a tape, and then she can view what happens in the house without the people inside the house knowing. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
If she trusts this maid, there is no need to use these devices, because this may lead to some discord if the maid finds out about it; perhaps some discord, conflict, and harm would occur. As long as she trusts her, she will not do this work. And if she does not trust her, she should not entrust her with the upbringing of her children, and there is no need to do these things. Yes.
