The ruling on giving zakah to domestic workers in homes?

Question : The questioner says: We have a domestic worker in the house. Is it permissible to give her zakah in the form of jewelry instead of cash?

Answer : If the domestic worker in the house is a disbeliever, it is not permissible to give her from the zakah, because disbelievers have no right to the wealth of Muslims. If she is not a disbeliever, she is given from the zakah if she belongs to the categories eligible for it. It is known that if she has no family, her wage usually suffices for her needs. Therefore, it is not permissible to give her from the zakah. However, if she has a family in her homeland, her wage does not suffice for them, so there is no harm in giving her from the zakah to meet her family's needs. I have addressed this issue regarding a Muslim domestic worker and a disbelieving domestic worker. I was forced to do so out of acknowledgment of the reality. Otherwise, I am very distressed by the presence of [disbelievers] in the Peninsula. In his final illness, [the Prophet] ordered the polytheists to be expelled from the Arabian Peninsula.
And he said, in what is authentic from him in Muslim: . But unfortunately, now many people have started bringing polytheists, including idolaters and others, to these lands from which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the polytheists to be expelled. They have also started bringing Jews and Christians, even though the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . In any case, in answer to his question: If the domestic worker is not Muslim, it is not permissible to give her zakah under any circumstances. If the domestic worker is Muslim, and she has no family, her wage usually suffices for her. But if she has a family, she is given [zakah] for her family, because they are among the categories eligible for zakah if they are Muslims.
