Question
If someone hears their friend recite a blessing and responds 'Amen', does it fulfill the obligation to recite one hundred blessings a day?
Answer
The Shulchan Aruch states that on Shabbat, one should intend to listen to the blessings of those who are called to the Torah and the Maftir, and this will help fulfill the obligation of one hundred blessings. However, the Mishnah Berurah writes that this is only in a case of necessity, but in a regular situation, one does not fulfill the obligation with another's blessing.
