An office with an open door

Question

A woman works with one nonreligious man in the same office. Is it enough to leave a door open (in order to avoid the problem of seclusion with a member of the opposite sex)?

Answer

You can leave the door slightly ajar, and that’s enough even if the man in question is dissolute.
