Question
Lit Hanukkah candles on Friday evening and they went out?
Answer
If the candles went out on Friday evening, there is a dispute whether one must relight them. In practice, it is advisable to be stringent and relight them as long as it is permitted.
Source
The opinion of Terumat HaDeshen and the Shulchan Aruch (Siman 673, paragraph 2) is that one is not obligated to relight them, but it is advisable to be stringent and relight. However, the opinion of the Taz (brought in Mishnah Berurah there, s.k. 26) is that as long as it is permitted to light, one must relight without a blessing. Azmera Leshimcha (Gilyon 119).
