Question
I heard Havdalah on Motzei Shabbat and remembered that I have not yet recited Birkat Hamazon for the Shabbat meal. Have I fulfilled the obligation of Havdalah?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permissible to hear Havdalah even during the meal, and you have certainly fulfilled the obligation of Havdalah. However, in such a case, 'Retze' is not recited in Birkat Hamazon, as Shabbat has already ended.
