The Ruling on Hiring Foreign Female Servants

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That Islam be fasting, and that it is obligatory to benefit, and that it is obligatory to benefit, and that it is obligatory for Islam to be mindful of others.

Answer:
Everyone complains, everyone answers with excuses regarding the servants, and this is a matter that contains danger, and contains an idea, and contains a condition. So it is better for the Muslim to avoid bringing foreign women into his home, his family, and his household, because of the dangers involved. It is safer and better for him to do the work himself than to bring a foreign woman and place her with his daughters and women, who are his mahram (relatives one may not marry), because of the danger this poses to him, his children, and the people, for the woman is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.
