Using the same unfinished lights on follow-up evenings after fulfilling obligations?
Question
If I put out the Chanukah candles after fulfilling that nights obligation, because I am going to sleep and still have an hour left to burn the following night, can I use the same oil or candles the next night plus the new additional candle to fulfill the next nights obligation?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
Yes, you can use oil leftover from the previous towards the lighting of the next night.
