The ruling on one who treats a domestic worker as a slave and beats her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people treat a domestic worker as if she were their slave and beat her?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. The domestic worker is hired; he must not beat her or transgress against her. If it is permissible for them [to keep her], otherwise he must release her and return her to her family.
A slave means: a male servant who is owned; this is the one who is disciplined.
