Question
Is it permissible for a woman after childbirth to stay at home alone? And how long after childbirth is protection required?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
A woman after childbirth requires protection. Up to a week after childbirth.
However, she can stay at home alone; the protection is only to ensure she does not go out alone to the street.
