Question

A person could not arrive home in time for the lighting on the first day of Hanukkah, and his wife lit the candles and recited the Shehecheyanu blessing for him. Should he recite the Shehecheyanu blessing when he lights on the second day?

Answer

Shalom Rav

Since he fulfilled his obligation on the first day through his wife's lighting, he does not recite the Shehecheyanu blessing on the second day.
