Q: What does Islam says about serving ones parents if they are away and it is difficut to meet them?
A.
You can send them gifts via mail, speak to them via telephone and make
Du'aa for them. When the opportunity does arise, visit them and/or
invite them to your house.
If you have hurt them in any way then
you should telephone or write to ask them for forgiveness. Thereafter
keep regular contact with them. By doing this you will also be making
big Khidmat (service) of your parents, Inshaa Allah.
And Allah Knows Best.
| Q: Can we keep non Muslim servent for our daily domestic work at home?
A.
A certain degree of Hijaab must be observed with female domestics such
as: not being alone with them, not talking to them directly except in
the presence of a Mahram, and even asking them to dress modestly.
If the maid is an elderly woman then the Hijaab law will be relaxed.
And Allah Ta'aala knows best.
