Question
If someone eats the Friday night meal at their parents' house and returns home to sleep, where should they light the Shabbat candles?
Answer
Ideally, one should light the candles in the place where they eat the evening meal. However, if they cannot arrive there before Shabbat, they should light the Shabbat candles at home, turn off the lights, and close the shutters to darken the house before lighting. It is preferable that upon returning home after the meal, they eat by the light of the candles.
