May a man and woman be alone in the same home if his daughter is present? I live alone with my daughter who would like to have a female guest stay over for a few days. Is this ok?
This matter is disputed amongst the Poskim. Practically, you may be lenient during daytime and non-sleep hours of night, at night past the time people go to sleep you should have another Shomer.
See Zechor Leavraham [Machmir], brought in Pischeiy Teshuvah E.H. 22:2; Beis Shlomo O.C. 48 [Machmir initially, Meikal Shaas Hadechak]; Yosef Ometz 26 [Chida; Stringent]; Dvar Halacha 8:4; Igros Moshe E.H. 2:15 4:65-8 [lenient even at night]; Toras Hayichud 8:3 and 18 [permits even at night]; Nitei Gavriel 27:4 [lenient] and 14 [stringent]
Sefaradim:
It is forbidden for a Sefaradi man to be alone with a group of women, or a group of Sefaradi women to be alone with a man, unless one of the valid Yichud breakers are applicable.
Ashkenazim:
Yichud of man and two women: Is forbidden, unless one of the valid Yichud breakers are applicable.
Yichud of man and three women or more: In a time of need, one may be lenient to allow a man to be alone with three women, even if no other Yichud breakers are applicable, if the man does not work with women for his occupation. However, at night, or on the road outside of the city, it is initially best to have four women present.
