Praise be to Allaah.
Before replying to this question, I would like to warn our brothers whom Allaah
has blessed in this country with abundance of wealth and good things against
persistently bringing female servants in, because this is a kind of luxury and
is indeed a kind of extravagance. We even hear of some cases where there is no
one but a man and his wife at home, and the woman is able to take care of all
the household affairs, but they still bring a female servant. I warn my brothers
against this serious problem which has become a matter of competition among
people, where a wife will say that she wants a servant so the husband goes and
brings her a servant. My advice is that no-one should bring a servant except in
cases of extreme necessity.
My view is that even in cases of necessity, only Muslim servants should be
brought in, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
commanded that the Jews and Christians be expelled from the Arabian Peninsula.
If a servant is brough in, she should not be young and pretty, because she is a
source of temptation, especially if there are young men in the family. For the
Shaytaan flows through the son of Adam like blood. And no female servant should
be brought without her mahram, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) forbade women to travel without their mahrams.
If the servant has a mahram, then the problem mentioned in the question does not
arise; her mahram can go for Hajj with her. But if she does not have a mahram,
or if her mahram brought her then went back, then they should not take her for
Hajj or travel with her; rather she should stay with someone who can be trusted
to take care of her. If there is no one who can be trusted to take care of her,
then she may go for Hajj with them because of necessity, and her Hajj will be
valid.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
