Question

I am married and staying with my parents for Shabbat, but I am sleeping at a friend's place nearby, who left me his apartment for Shabbat. I lit the Chanukah candles at my friend's place where I slept on Shabbat, and later I heard that this is not correct. What is the ruling?

Answer

Post facto, you have fulfilled your obligation.
