Is it permissible to benefit from the work of a close relative who is a visiting domestic worker in the home without paying her a wage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the maid's work in your house is included in her contract with your relative and with his permission, then you are not obliged to pay her a wage. However, if her work is not part of the original contract, then she is entitled to a wage for her work, unless she worked for you voluntarily and willingly.
