ISLAMIC FATAWA REGARDING WOMEN

Ruling About Hiring a Non-Muslim Maid [or Servant]

Question 6: I sent requests asking for a maid to help my wife with her housework. I discovered, through letters, that they did not find a Muslim in the country that I wanted a maid from. Is it allowed for me to hire a non-Muslim maid?

Response: It is not allowed to have a non-Muslim maid or a non-Muslim male servant, or a worker who is non-Muslim for anyone living in the Arabian Peninsula. This is because the Prophet ordered the Jews and Christians to be expelled from that land. He ordered that only Muslims should be left there. He decreed upon his death that all polytheists must be expelled from this Peninsula.

Furthermore, hiring disbelieving men and women is very dangerous for the Muslims, their faith, their behavior and the

upbringing of their children. Therefore, such must be prevented in obedience to Allah, the Glorified, and His Messenger and to prevent a source of evil and immorality. And Allah is the One who provides guidance.

The Ruling Concerning Washing with Blood

Question 7: My mother was ill and she visited a number of hospitals but without a cure. Finally, she went to a soothsayer who told her to wash herself with the blood of a goat. My mother actually did what he said, being ignorant of the religious ruling concerning such. Is there some expiation that we must perform and, if so, what is it? May Allah reward you with what is best.

Response: It is not allowed to go to soothsayers, astrologers,

magicians or any of the other kind of charlatans. It is also not allowed to put questions to them or to believe them. Indeed, that is one of the greatest sins, since the Prophet said,

“If anyone goes to a fortuneteller and asks him about anything, then his prayer will not be accepted from him for forty nights.”

Recorded by Muslim in his Sahih. The Prophet also said,

“Whoever goes to a fortuneteller or soothsayer and believes in what he says has then disbelieved in what has been revealed to Muhammad.”

This was recorded by the compilers of the Sunan with an authentic chain. Finally, the Prophet also said,
