Question

Which blessing comes first: Asher Yatzar or Birkat Hamazon?

Answer

In the book Mekor Chaim (Siman 165), it is ruled that 'Asher Yatzar' comes first, and this is also the ruling in Kaf HaChaim and Aruch HaShulchan.

Source

There is uncertainty in this matter because 'Asher Yatzar' is more frequent, while Birkat Hamazon is a Torah commandment, and it is frequent versus holy. As mentioned in the book Mekor Chaim (Siman 165), it is ruled that 'Asher Yatzar' comes first, and this is also the ruling in Kaf HaChaim and Aruch HaShulchan.
