The hijaab of a female servant

Question: Is it necessary for a female servant who works in the house to wear hijaab in front of her employer?

Response: Yes, she must wear hijaab in front of him and she may not display her adornments in front of him. Also, it is forbidden for them to be in private due to the generality of the evidences. This is because if she does not wear hijaab or she displays her adornments, she will be a source of temptation for him. Similarly, being in private is an opportunity for Satan to make them alluring and tempting.
