Question
What is considered night regarding the law of Yichud, where two guards are required and an open door to the public domain does not suffice?
Answer
The requirement for two guards begins from the time people usually go to sleep, and it depends on the local custom. An open door to the public domain does not suffice from the time when passersby are no longer present, and this also depends on local custom.
