The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Knowing that he does not mix with us and does not enter upon us.
The Shaykh:
If there is a family in the house, if there is a family in the house and he enters and sits in the sitting area, this is not seclusion because there is a family in the house and many individuals, so this is not seclusion. Seclusion is when a man enters upon a woman in a house where there is no one else with her, and she is not one of his mahram (relatives one may not marry). This is the forbidden seclusion. Yes.
