Is it permissible to employ a Muslim maid in the house out of necessity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is a Muslim maid in the house lawful or forbidden, given the necessity, since my wife is a teacher and I have two children?

Answer:
If the maid is in the house with the family and does not remain alone with a man, and she is wearing hijab and does not remain alone with a man, but is with the family, then there is no harm in that due to need. And if you no longer need her, send her back to her family. Yes.
