Question
I want to send a 7-year-old girl to the house of a friend where only the father is present. Is there any issue regarding yichud, and is his daughter considered a guardian? She is also 7 years old.
Answer
Hello,
The prohibition of yichud with a girl begins from the age of 3.
The presence of another girl [such as the daughter in the house] who can report what she sees is sufficient to permit. However, at the age of 7, it is not clear that this is the case, and it depends on the understanding of the girl.
This applies during the day, but at night, during sleeping hours, two guardians are required to permit.
