Question

If a man has already fulfilled the obligation of Havdalah, can he fulfill it on behalf of his wife?

Answer

Ideally, the woman should perform it herself (and there is no need to worry about various concerns), but if it is difficult for her or she is unable, the man can perform it for her.
