Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, an elderly woman, about seventy years old, lives alone in her home. Her son hired a maid for her, and this maid is a Christian disbeliever. She arrived this afternoon, and the woman has not let her into her home yet, as she is asking your eminence whether it is permissible for her to let her in and have her serve her?
The Shaykh:
Yes, let her into her home and ask her son to replace her with a Muslim woman. Yes.
The presenter:
That is all, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
