The student’s remarks on the issue of exposing the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) of a Muslim woman in the presence of a non-Muslim maid

The student : The problem here may not be present in your area, but it is present here in the Gulf.

The Shaykh : In Saudi Arabia.
The student : Yes, the maids are Christian, and they come with the household owners. Therefore, we either impose hijab (the covering prescribed for women) on them or we say we prevent this maid from entering. A non-Muslim maid does not come. Now they have started to object, saying:The Shaykh : Ibn Baz or someone like that says that it is permissible in front of this woman, in front of women, meaning the intention is not... I do not know, this is reported from him. I have not read that from him, but I heard from some of those who object by citing his statement.The Shaykh : Ibn Baz or Ibn Uthaymeen.

The Shaykh : This is the statement of Abu al-A'la al-Mawdudi.
