Is sending foreign laborers to Arab countries permissible or forbidden?
If the majority of those who employ female domestic workers do not wrong them or violate their rights, then there is no harm in continuing this work, provided that Islamic legal guidelines are met. These include the domestic workers observing the lawful , having a (unmarriageable kin) with them, and ensuring the absence of fitna (temptation or discord). However, if the prevalent situation in the country involves injustice towards them and exposure to harm to their honor, then it is impermissible to export domestic workers except to those who are known to respect their rights and adhere to Islamic legal guidelines. Given that fulfilling these Islamic legal guidelines is a difficult matter, it is advisable to abandon this work and seek other employment.
