Question
He lights outside in a place where there is a common wind, and his intention is to immediately place the cover. Is this preferable, since there is a common wind at the time of lighting?
Answer
This is permissible initially, but some are stringent to stand very close when lighting, so the wind cannot extinguish it.
Source
According to the Mishnah Berurah, Siman 673, Sif-Kaf-Heh.
