It is permissible to give to a Muslim maid if her salary is insufficient to meet her needs and the needs of those she supports, and if she is not wealthy due to the financial support of someone obligated to provide for her, and for her to own the money to spend it as she deems appropriate, whether for clothing or medical treatment.
