Ruling on bringing in a Muslim maid without a mahram for a need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: What is your opinion, Your Eminence, on bringing in a Muslim maid from a Muslim country without a mahram for a dire necessity?

Answer:
It is obligatory for all women not to travel except with a mahram, whether she is a maid or otherwise... every woman must have a mahram for her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A woman should not travel except with a Dhu-Mahramلا تُسافر المرأةُ إلا مع ذي محرم
Sahih al-Bukhari 1862
. This is what is obligatory for everyone, and her family must provide a mahram for her.
