The mother of Moses was inspired by Allaah. Allaah did not inspire SE Asian parents to ship their daughters away to slavery. Instead, Allaah tells us all to fight for our Haqq. Sri Lanka is not an intrinsically impoverished country. In fact it's GDP ranks 69, which makes its economy stronger than 127 other nations. Jahl'a (ignorance) is the root of the people's misfortune. Slick politicians are eating away their wealth, but instead of waking up and unite to fight those thieves to take back what's lawfully theirs, they resort to something less troublesome: send our daughters to slavery.
FYI : Sri Lanka has more wealth compared to Yemen (a country that shares a border with Saudi Arabia) but you don't see Yemeni housemaids in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps dignity comes to play?
You should not allow the facts to sink in your pool of racism. Evidently, you abhor Arabs. Our beloved Rasool, saaw, was an Arab.
Reality is: poverty is no excuse to stick a stamp on your daughter's head and mail her to be a slave. I would rather starve to death than have my child bow down to any man.
Indeed, but I do recall it was you who at one point didn't want people to challenge their "leaders." The Muslims who do wish to spread the resources simply cannot because you sent them home to "change themselves before they attempt to change their government" ....They will come back out in 40 years

Let’s discuss your disparate and disjointed points one by one, sequentially.
The relationship between GDP and poverty is at best inverse meaning that if a country has a higher GDP the number of poor will be less but it doesn’t mean that since Sri Lanka has a higher GDP than Yemen it doesn’t have any poor,
where did you get this idea from?
The case in point is one specific family and their poverty and their desperate attempts to escape it and the tragic events which led to a child’s death and Capital punishment on the perpetrator,
what link does it have with the GDP difference between Sri Lanka & Yemen?
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad
had a Foster mother by the name of Sayyida Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb so in effect this is what Rizana (Sri Lankan) was doing i.e. taking care of the baby,
do you still want to stick to your absurd position of taking care of babies being undignified?
Prophet Muhammad
was an Arab by ethnicity but Islam clearly teaches that Arabs, Non-Arabs, Blacks, Whites are equal and this was mentioned Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) in his last sermon categorically. Qur’aan enforces also emphatically enforces this point that superiority is also based on good (righteous) deeds
[49:13] "O Mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous of you"
Jews on the other hand believe in racial and ethnic superiority as mentioned in the Qur’aan:
[5:18] (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"
So I must ask you as to which concept of superiority do you want to believe in?
Islamic or Judaic?
The question which you and a few minority who are continuously avoiding is as follows:
Saudi Arabian Government denies Hajj visa permission to women without Mahram so why do they grant work visas to single women without Mahram? Rizana was granted entry into Saudi Arabia through a work visa and if the permission wasn’t granted it doesn’t matter how poor or desperate she would have been, she wouldn’t have been in Saudia.

Very much true. When I was in a session, this point was clearly mentioned. To be exact, I heard of the second opinion that during the Poverty/Starvation time, Umar(RA) had suspended it. JazakAllah Khair akhi for sharing this piece.
To my lovely brother, You have no idea what runs down there in Sri-Lanka. Don't go on stating the GDP, economy. It is way worse than what the statistics speak. Just out of curiosity, have you ever felt/had a situation where 10 people have lived in one small room? Where a 2 day meal seems like a dream? Gosh.! May Allah(SWT) have mercy on you akhi.
It's pretty easy to say unite and fight back. LOL! You make it seem like they have to play a video game.
Working for someone isn't slavery. Whether you are a garbage cleaner, house-maid, home-maker, IT-professional or any job. Work is work. A house-maid, a baby-sitter ain't slavery.
Perhaps, Dignity??
Think with a cool head akhi.
Peace.
Spot on Sister. This is rigorously Authenticated Hadeeth agreed upon by Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jamaah:
“Ward off the legal punishments (hudud) due to doubts”.
Islam-qa says:
...This statement indicates that the hadd punishment may not be applied to the accused if the evidence that is specified in sharee‘ah in order for the crime to be proven is not available. But there may be strong circumstantial evidence to prove the case against the accused. In this case the judge may punish the accused with a disciplinary punishment (ta‘zeer) as he sees fit. Then the accused (once he is proven guilty by circumstantial evidence) will not escape punishment...
No postmortem
No witnesses
No inquest
No motive
How in the world did they award the death penalty? Let Saudi Government share the evidence evidence against her:
Scenario 1: If the case is as watertight as they seem to think then they have nothing to worry about.
Scenario 2: If the case has holes and doubts then the death penalty has been wrongly awarded!
Scenario 3: Saudi Judicial system is a mutilated hybrid between Islamic Shariah and British Colonial (archaic) judicial laws badly executed and (criminally and inaptly) implemented.
Which one is it?
AllahuAkbar.
