Question
My father is in need of care, and I am currently at home with my brother-in-law. His wife is in the city.
Answer
Hello
There is no prohibition of yichud here
A. Since the brother-in-law's wife is in the city, there is no prohibition of yichud with him.
B. If the father is lucid and understanding, there is an additional reason to permit, as he is considered a 'shomer'.
