Question
The uncle was asked to watch over his nieces, one aged five and the other seven. Is there a prohibition of yichud in this situation?
Answer
During the day, it is permitted because each one guards the other, according to the law of a guardian from the age of five to ten. However, at night, when two guardians are required, it is not sufficient unless there is another girl aged five to ten.
