Question
A woman who has not heard Havdalah and cannot find a man who has not yet recited it, what should she do? Should she recite Havdalah herself, or should a man who has already recited it do it again for her?
Answer
If she can recite Havdalah, she should do it herself. If she cannot, such as if she is ill or weak, a man who has already recited Havdalah can do it again for her.
