Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Some people have a domestic worker.
The Shaykh : What do they have?
The questioner : A domestic worker. So if they want to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, they take her with them with the intention of doing good?
The Shaykh : The domestic worker who belongs to the household, if there is no one else in the house when they go out for Hajj, they take her with them because her performing Hajj with them is safer for her than her remaining alone in the house, and safer for her than if they left her with their neighbors or relatives. So in such a case, it is permissible, if Allah wills, because her traveling with them is safer than her remaining behind.
