The ruling on hiring a non-Muslim maid and eating her cooking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. One of the sisters says: If the maid is not Muslim and her religion is Buddhism, is it permissible for us to eat her cooking and food? And if she washes, for example, the clothes, will they be pure?
Answer:
First, it is not permissible to bring in a disbelieving maid to enter the house and be with the family. Instead, they should bring in a Muslim maid, and there are many Muslim women, praise be to Allah. Second, what she cooks or washes is fine. However, if she slaughters, for example, chickens or sheep to cook for you, that is not permissible. The slaughter of a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) is haram (forbidden) and not lawful. Yes.
