What is the ruling on a maid traveling with the family she works for, especially if she does not have a mahram who came with her?
0:09
Yes, but if she has a mahram with her, there is no problem. If she does not have a mahram, then our view is
0:15
that the maid must come with a mahram.
0:21
That is our view, even though at first we were lenient about it.
0:27
Because we have heard disturbing and horrifying incidents.
0:32
When a maid comes without a mahram to protect her.
0:37
Especially in a house where there are teenage boys.
0:41
This can lead to falling into a great immorality, and we seek refuge with Allah.
0:47
But if it happens that people are tested with having this servant,
0:51
this maid, and they travel and there is no one in the house
0:55
trustworthy to stay with her, then it is necessary for her to travel with them.
1:03
Because her staying behind is harmful and a source of fitna.
1:07
In this case, there is no harm if she travels with them out of necessity.
