Question
If someone was praying the Shemoneh Esrei and mistakenly said Amen in the middle, is it considered an interruption, and what should one do if they answered?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Answering Amen during the Shemoneh Esrei prayer is considered an interruption, and therefore, it is forbidden to answer Amen at this time. However, if one did answer, they should continue their prayer as usual.
