Question

Hi, I am 16 years old and a friend is coming to sleep over at my place. I have a 14-year-old brother, and my parents are not home. What should be done to avoid yichud? Thank you very much

Answer

There is an issue with this, and it is also not recommended for a friend to sleep over when there are boys in the house and the parents are not present, even if a solution for the laws of yichud is found.
