Question:
A questioner says: Is it permissible to look at the maid on the basis that hardship brings ease, and that she cannot work in the house or the kitchen unless she is in her regular clothes without the abaya, and is she to be compared to a slave woman?
Answer:
No, she is not like a slave woman. She is a non-mahram, a free non-mahram, a free woman, not a slave woman. Like all other women, she must cover herself from men. Even if it is her guarantor, she must cover herself from him, and he must not be alone with her. She must cover herself, but it is not necessary for her to wear the abaya. She wears a covering garment, and that is sufficient. She wears a loose covering garment and covers her face, and that is sufficient. Yes.
