Question

Hello, what is the ruling when a person cannot fulfill the mitzvah of sending Mishloach Manot, such as if they are captive, etc.? Can others fulfill this mitzvah on their behalf through merit, by sending it to their friend, and will it be considered that they have fulfilled the mitzvah of sending Mishloach Manot? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,

It is possible to send Mishloach Manot on their behalf, thereby fulfilling their obligation.
