Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible to travel with a domestic worker for Hajj or 'Umrah, and have her accompany the family?
Answer:
That is to say, without a doubt, whether she stays at home with the family or travels with them, the ruling is the same. Her traveling with the family is like her being at home with the family. When there is a need, there is no harm in it, because if they left her behind, they would fear for her safety; they would fear that someone might assault her, or that she might run away, or that she would not be able to manage on her own. She would be afraid. Yes.
