The ruling on taking a domestic worker without a mahram (relative one may not marry) for Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for what follows, Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: We have a domestic worker in the house without a mahram, and I would like to take her with my family to perform the obligatory Hajj. Is that permissible? Knowing that Hajj is an individual obligation for the domestic worker, and she may not be able to perform it except with us.
Answer:
It is actually a matter of domestic workers. Those brought in from abroad. They have many dangers, as is feared, as has happened. Do you not hear from us? The described incidents.
So whoever is afflicted with bringing in a domestic worker, let her mahram be with her, either her husband, or a relative. If he needs her, let him have her and his wife. If he needs both a man and a woman.
And if he has no need for her mahram, at least he should deliver her to him and then return. And if she wants to travel and return to her country, he should be present to receive her and take her back. As for her being in the house with the family, she does not need a mahram.
And if she does not have a mahram now to accompany her for Hajj, and leaving her in the house is more harmful than her traveling with you, she may travel with you out of necessity, being with the women, and this is what I will establish with the women, yes.
