Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of fatwa number ( 6354 )
Q2: We have a Christian female servant; is it permissible for her to wash clothes and for them to be pure, and do we wear them or not? Also, if she gives us a gift after returning from a trip, do we accept it or not?
A2: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions... After that: It is permissible for you to wear the clothes she has washed or ironed. You must invite her to Islam, so that perhaps Allah will guide her through your hands. There is no harm in your accepting what she gives you from what is permissible, and you should reward her for it. It is recommended to remove her if she does not become a Muslim and replace her with a Muslim woman, especially in the Arabian Peninsula ; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised to expel the disbelievers from it, and the aforementioned hadith includes the Jews and the Christians and other disbelievers.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
