Question
If one fulfills an obligation through another's blessing and is distracted, but answers Amen, has he fulfilled his obligation?
Answer
Hello,
To fulfill the obligation, one must hear all the words and intend to fulfill the obligation.
If due to distraction one of the conditions is missing, the obligation is not fulfilled.
