Fathwa, - Dangers of non-Muslim servants

Question
We have a non-Muslim servant and we found pictures of the children and
myself along with something that looks like a goat's horn in her room.
What do you think of this? Is it a kind of magic? Please advise.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His slave and Messenger.
Before answering the question, we must first discuss the issue of
having female servants in general in Muslim houses, let alone
disbelieving female servants. This phenomenon often results in much
corruption which reality bears witness to. This includes:
1- The oppression of children when their upbringing is left to
these maids. This is the most dangerous aspect as it causes the child
to lose his emotions towards his parents, especially his mother.
Consequently, a child loses affection which is the basic element in
directing and guiding children.
2- The existence of maids is a basic element in encouraging
mothers to go out to work, markets or visits, and this contradicts the
Sharee'ah goals which require that a woman stays in her home. Allaah
The Almighty Says )what means(: }And stay in your houses.{]Quran
33:33[
3- Laziness and inactivity of women, which results in many illnesses.
4- Leaving maids with adolescent sons in houses results in many
immoralities.
5- When the maid is a disbeliever the children are brought up on
subversive creeds and ideas that contradict the Muslim creed.
Therefore, the Sharee'ah criteria for having a maid has to be
followed. These criteria are as follows:
1- A maid has to be a Muslim.
2- She should be accompanied by her husband or a Mahram
)unmarriageable person(.
3- The Sharee'ah limitations should be observed. That is, there
should be no Khalwah )isolation( or intermixing between the two sexes,
nor should men have any dealings with them.
4- The children's upbringing should not be entrusted to these maids.
As for the question, it is not farfetched that this maid does whatever
harms Muslims as she is a disbeliever. Allaah The Almighty Says )what
means(: }They do not observe toward a believer any pact of kinship or
covenant of protection. And it is they who are the
transgressors.{]Quran 9:10[
They are neither restrained by kinship nor are prevented by a
covenant. So what do you think then if there is no covenant or kinship
in the first place? The surrounding proofs indicate that she might
have been trying to work a spell and this is indicated by the horn of
the goat. You should therefore dismiss her to be relieved from her
evil, but your suspicions about her should not encourage you to
oppress or upset her. Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(: }And do
not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just;
that is nearer to righteousness.{]Quran 5:8[
Allaah Knows best.
