Question:
He says: We came for 'Umrah from a Gulf state, and we have two domestic workers of Asian nationality with us, and they do not have a mahram with them. Is there anything required of us?
Answer:
The original issue is that they came from their country without a mahram. Continuing to travel without a mahram. And if you leave them there, there is danger of them getting lost, or of them being with you and you protecting them, which is better than leaving them to be lost there, or for them to be mistreated, or for there to be a defect in their religion or their honor. Protect them; they are a trust in your care. Yes.
