MALE SERVANTS IN THE HOUSE
AN IMMORAL HARAAM PRACTICE
A CONCERNED BROTHER OFFERS THE FOLLOWING VERY VALID NASEEHAT:
Assalamu alaikum.
Will really appreciate if Moulana could address this issue
Allah Ta’ala, out of his grace, has made us humans. He has given us intellect, the ability to reason and differentiate between good and bad, right and wrong. Unfortunately, as we are getting closer to Qiyaamah, our minds and trail of thought is taking a somersault. We start regarding the wrong as right and the right as wrong. We then hear statements like, “What is wrong in this? I can’t understand why is it not permissible,” etc.
This is similar to what the kuffaar said, “Our hearts are covered (we cannot understand what you are saying).” Allah Ta’ala replied to them, “(Their hearts are not covered) Rather Allah has cursed them.” When Allah curses someone, even his thinking will go upside down.
In this regard, sadly, it has been noticed that many households have started this new trend of employing male servants to work in the house. They work side by side with our womenfolk; feasting their lustful gazes on them. What has happened to your brains? Can’t you see beyond your nose? And then you ask, “What is wrong with this?” Only the dumbest person will ask what is wrong with this.
Are these men not humans? Do you think they don’t have any sexual desire in them??? The women of the house rub shoulders with them in the kitchen, wearing only their kaftans or pyjamas and their hair open. Will this not attract their attention? Women also have desires; they are not angels. Only angels have no desire. Yusuf (Alayhis Salaam), being a great Nabi of Allah, said, “(O Allah), If You did not turn away their plot from me (plot of the women), I would have inclined to them.” Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that when a strange man and woman are alone, the third person is shaytaan.
Don’t try and justify this evil practice. Open your eyes. Can’t you see the repercussions of this evil sin? With the abundance of nudity, shamelessness and fitnah around, if a person is not careful, he/she will get aroused very quickly by anything and everything, and we all know where this will end of. By all means, employ men to do the outside work, or some gardening. Don’t bring these strange men into the privacy of your homes.
Turn the tables around…. Suppose the wife goes to work everyday and the husband stays at home, alone with the female-servant doing the household chores, does that sound like a good idea? Will any sane person ever accept such behaviour? SO why then, do we allow our women to be alone with strange men?
In actual fact we are jumping into the fire and then screaming that we are getting burnt. How foolish! We are, ourselves, opening the door to sin. Stop this evil now, and if we don’t… May Allah Ta’ala forbid… we are asking for problems.
This is a serious issue, which cannot be taken lightly. If we know anyone who has fallen into this trap, explain to them in a nice way the evil of this practice and the end result of such behaviour. Allah will reward you abundantly, insha Allah.
May Allah guide us all to the straight path.

COMMENT
The woman who tolerate a male servant at her side is in fact a ZAANIYA, and her husband is an evil DAYYOOTH OF the worst KIND. The brother has adequately explained the villainy and immorality of this haraam practice. The La’nat of Allah Ta’ala settles on such homes where such zina is tolerated and encouraged.
