Question
If someone ate bread and has not yet recited the blessing, and wants to leave the house for a short time and recite the blessing upon returning, is it permissible to appoint a 'reminder' - a person who will remind him to recite the blessing to allow him to leave?
Answer
It is permitted only for the purpose of a mitzvah. And even for a mitzvah that is not urgent.
