Is it permissible to take the maid for 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about taking the maid for 'Umrah. If the maid is with the family, with the women,

Answer:
then there is nothing wrong with it. If she were left in the country, she would be at risk from the person she is left with. It is better for her to be with her family and with the women, as that protects her better than if she stayed in the country, where she might be exposed to harm. She originally came from her country without a mahram (a relative one may not marry). You are already in this situation from the start. Whoever Allah grants the means to do without a maid is better off, as it keeps him further away from what is forbidden. But when you are afflicted with this, mitigate the harm. Do not leave her alone with a man. She should not be uncovered, but rather be wearing her hijab. She should not ride with a man who is not her mahram alone. Mitigate the harm as much as possible.
