Question

Hello Rabbi, I was sitting with my chavruta, and he thought I had recited a blessing and answered Amen, and then suddenly realized that I had not blessed anything. Is this considered answering Amen in vain? After all, he did not mention God's name, and answered Amen to something he thought was a blessing, and the Amen was seemingly according to the rule.

Answer

Hello

The Amen was in vain.

However, there is no claim against him, as he thought you had blessed.
