Question
Hello,
If a person delayed performing Havdalah on Saturday night and it became late at night, is there a difference if he performs Havdalah at night or on Sunday morning?
Answer
Hello
The sages instituted that Havdalah should be performed over a cup on Saturday night, and therefore, if possible, one must perform Havdalah at night and not postpone it to the day.
Havdalah during the day is only a completion for those who did not perform it on Saturday night as required.
