The questioner:
A woman residing in the lands of disbelief says that she works as a nanny for children in her home, and the fathers come to pick up their children. It is known that her husband is not present at some times, but she has worn the Islamic dress. She asks: Is that permissible? Is it permissible to let them in? Is this work permissible for her, which is the custody of children of disbelievers?
The Shaykh:
Being kind to children is good, but when they come to ask for their children, you leave them behind the door and show their children to them. You take them out to them while they are behind the door. You do not let them enter to you. Yes.
