Question
With God's help, in the upcoming holiday, my wife, my daughters aged 12 and 14, and I will be staying in an apartment with only an elderly man. How can we avoid a situation of yichud if I leave for prayer before the women (all will leave the apartment, but later)? Is it considered "husband in the city" if I return sometime in the morning? Any other solution? Thank you and gutten moed.
Answer
Hello
Your wife is permitted to be with him, as her husband is in the city. She also serves as a 'guardian' for the daughters.
Since a woman who is not under suspicion of transgression can also prevent yichud for others.
