The ruling on hiring a female servant who is a disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
First, first.
The questioner:
If my mother suffers from severe fatigue due to housework, and we want to hire a female servant who is a disbeliever, knowing that there are four unmarried sons in the house, and what is the ruling if the servant is found in the house, and I am also unable to leave the house? And what is the ruling regarding speaking with her so that she enters Islam? I heard this statement, I heard this statement, O Shaykh, this is absolutely not permissible.
The Shaykh:
Hiring a female servant who is a disbeliever is absolutely not permissible, and as long as there are sons in the house, the presence of a servant between them and a Muslim woman is a great danger, so this should not be done; they should seek help from Allah and do what they can until they get married, and their wives should serve them.
