The ruling on hiring a foreign female servant for the home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That the use of a fasting person is only that he benefits from the situation behind him in looking after the children.
Answer:
Everyone complains, everyone answers with excuses in the maid's pocket, and this is a matter that contains danger, fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and evil. Therefore, 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 in a foreign woman and place her with his daughters and women as if she were one of their mahram (a relative 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).
