Six Bangladeshi

A: You have to contact the housemaid via her address to give her the due wages. However, in case you give up hope of finding her and you can not contact her by writing or by phoning her; you have to give the value of the wages mentioned above in charity (voluntary charity) on her behalf. (Part No. 15; Page No. 133) In case the housemaid appears and requests her wages; these should be paid to her unless she approves of the Sadaqah that has been given on her behalf. On the other hand, in case she does not approve of such Sadaqah; the latter will be considered on behalf of the person who gave it and Allah will replace it for them with that which is better. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
