Question

Hello Rabbi, if a person did not manage to recite Birkat Hamazon after the third meal and went to Maariv, and said 'Ata Chonantanu', when he returns home to bless, should he say 'Retze' and 'HaRachaman'?

Answer

Hello Rabbi,

One should not say 'Retze' or the 'HaRachaman' of Shabbat, as he has already performed Havdalah in the prayer and concluded Shabbat.

Even someone who said during the meal 'Baruch Hamavdil Bein Kodesh Lechol' should not say 'Retze' in the Birkat Hamazon.
