Is it permissible for me to travel with the maid along with my wife, or should I leave her alone in the house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: My wife’s family brought a maid for their daughter, and they are living there.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. My wife’s family brought a maid for their daughter, and they are living in the southern part of the Kingdom. If my wife wants to go to her family in the south, should I travel with her and the maid without a mahram? And is there any sin on me for that?

The Shaykh:
And if you leave her, who are you leaving her with? If she is in fear of staying, then you take her with you, because that is safer for her. And if she is not in fear, such as if she is with trustworthy people, then leave her with them until you return. Yes.
