8) Q. I would like to know the opinion of HaRav Miller shlita regarding the following matter:Sometimes I am at home with my father and grandmother (mother’s mother) – both not yet religious. If I need to leave the house (to daven), am I allowed to leave even though they will lock the door (or sometimes I lock the door) and be in yichud? They do not understand the need to leave the door open, and even if the door would be left open, doing so does not necessarily help if we are not expecting any visitors.With blessings for a kesiva vechasima toiva to the Rav shlita and to Rabbi Bartfeld.

A. You may consider setting up an inside security camera on the common areas being shared (See questions 346, 878 and 974 on this forum). You may want to leave a hidden key on the outside permitting you or other family members unannounced access to the locked house.Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that in principle you are not to be held responsible for the actions of your parents.
