Question
If someone is engaged in a mitzvah at the time they send an agent to check for chametz, can the agent recite the blessing, since they are not obligated at all (and can also perform both according to the Ran), as the entire obligation of the agent stems from the sender?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Since the sender is obligated in the checking, but has a 'postponement due to engagement in a mitzvah. His agent, who does not have the postponement, is obligated and recites the blessing.
