1. Does it affect the ruling on employing a domestic worker if her residency permit is not under her real name, or is it sufficient for her to hold a regular residency permit? 2. Is it correct to say that there is no sin in employing workers who violate residency laws, as long as the responsible authorities overlook their presence? 3. Is a husband entitled to refuse to bring in legal domestic workers from companies, when they are available, on the grounds of high cost or not guaranteeing trustworthiness?
The question included many sub-issues. The default ruling regarding hiring a maid without residency is prohibition, as it violates the laws regulating domestic workers. If the ruler prohibits something that involves a clear public interest, then it is obligatory to obey him. Interests and harms may be hidden from people, and it is necessary to refer to people of experience and specialization to discern them, and to consult scholars directly, due to their knowledge of the situation.
