Question
I am a girl, and in the morning, a Jewish worker works alone at our place, only he and I are at home. What should I do regarding Yichud?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Such a situation is prohibited due to Yichud.
It is necessary to ensure that there are other people in the house, [at least two more men].
In principle, it is sufficient for people to come and go from the house to serve as 'guards'. However, a situation where a man and a woman are alone in a house regularly is likely to lead to prohibitions, and therefore it is not recommended to rely on leniencies.
If there are two exits to the house, sometimes it is possible for one of you to stay in a locked room with a separate exit outside and not enter the rest of the house while the other is there.
