Question
What exactly is the obligation of the Shehecheyanu blessing (I saw that the Mishnah writes that it is optional, etc.), so what is it actually considered? If there are doubts, can one rely on it, and if not, in what case can one?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
Indeed, the halachic meaning of 'optional' is that in any case of doubt, one should say that the blessing is not recited.
