#It is permissible for a man to seclude himself with his sister, however, it shouldn't be done frequently.<ref>Chelkat Mechokek 22:1, Yalkut Yosef Hilchot Ishut EH Siman 22:1, Gan Naul pages 9-10. Igrot Moshe EH 4:64 writes that the exact amount of time isn't critical, it is only permitted if they're only there as a guest in a very evident way and not living there for some period of time. However, Bet Shmuel 22:1 suggests that secluding with a sister is forbidden since Rambam, Tur, and Shulchan Aruch make no mention of it being permitted. Otzar Haposkim 22:4:1 quotes Od Yosef Chay, Yafeh L'lev, Yosef Ometz who are strict about this. However, they also quote Prisha, Chikrei Lev, Maharshal, Chayei Adam, Maharsham, Aruch Hashulchan, and Avnei Nezer as being lenient. </ref> A brother and sister still living in their parents home may be left alone together for only a few days and not for an extended period of time.<ref>Gan Naul pages 10-12. See Igrot Moshe EH 4:65:11 concludes that this depends on the particular situation.</ref> | #It is permissible for a man to seclude himself with his sister, however, it shouldn't be done frequently.<ref>Chelkat Mechokek 22:1, Yalkut Yosef Hilchot Ishut EH Siman 22:1, Gan Naul pages 9-10.
