Question

If someone mistakenly recited the blessing 'Shehakol Nihyeh Bidvaro' on smelling fragrances, did they fulfill their obligation?

Answer

If one recited the blessing 'Shehakol Nihyeh Bidvaro' on fragrances, some say they have fulfilled the obligation, while others say they have not, and in cases of doubt regarding blessings, one should be lenient.
