Question

A widow who also lights Chanukah candles mistakenly lit Shabbat candles first. What should she do?

Answer

Since she accepted Shabbat with her lighting, she should appoint an agent to light the Chanukah candles, and he will recite the blessing 'lehadlik', and she will recite the blessing 'she'asa nisim'.
