What is the ruling on dealing with a non-Muslim maid who performs all household chores and goes out alone with the father to run errands for the house? Is it permissible for her to remain in the house if the parents prefer her presence over that of their only daughter? What are the limits of the relationship with her?
It is not permissible for the father to be alone with the maidservant, as she is a non-mahram woman. The questioner should advise him gently and kindly if he does so, and she should also invite the maidservant to Islam by gifting her booklets and tapes.
