Yichud in Father-in-law's House
Question
Is it permissible to stay at my wife's parents' house when only my sister-in-law is there (with the living room window open to the opposite buildings and the door open)?
Answer
Hello
The law is the same as in any other house.
If the door is open and there is a possibility that someone might enter, it is permissible to stay there.
Also, if you are in a place visible to the neighbors opposite, it is not considered yichud. However, the rest of the house that is not visible from the window is considered yichud.
