Question
I am married and traveling to spend Shabbat at my parents' home. What should I do about the Chanukah candles?
Answer
You have two options: either light the candles at your parents' home — and for Sephardim, participate in your father's lighting by contributing a coin, or appoint an agent to light at your home. However, if you fulfill the obligation of lighting at your parents' home, you do not need to light at your own home due to suspicion, as in our times, this is not a concern.
