Ruling on Hiring a Driver and a Maid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding hiring a driver and a maid? I ask for details!
First: I advise you not to say to a person: "What is the ruling of the Shari'ah?" because a person may err or be correct.And he says: This is the ruling of the Shari'ah, and this is not the ruling of the Shari'ah.Unless you qualify it, you say: "What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in your view?" is fine, or "What do you see regarding such-and-such?"
Hiring a male servant and a maid is undoubtedly a form of luxury.And they say: There is ruin in luxury, except when there is a need. If the need calls for it, there is no harm in hiring them; but each of them must be Muslim.
