The ruling on hiring a domestic worker without a residence and the conflict of fatwas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek Allah's forgiveness, and I would like your help in hiring a domestic worker for the believers without a residence. This is because I was previously in her service and I am unable to hire her lawyer to accompany her. I fear that this is permissible and that the name returns to the issues of hiring, so I hired her. One of the students of knowledge said that obeying this scholar in this fatwa is not permissible, and that his opinion on this issue is against it, because it conflicts with the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). What is my obligation to do regarding this matter?
Answer:
Yes, the last one told you the truth: the one who issued the fatwa to you was wrong, because he contradicted the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The domestic worker is not the responsibility of the hiring offices alone; rather, you are partners in the sin, you and the hiring offices. All of you are partners in this sin. As for the fact that the matter has already happened and you hired her, the violation has occurred. So you must take care of her until she completes the contract you made with her, then send her back to where she came from, and do not return to something like this.
