Question

Hello, In case of necessity, can a person move Shabbat candles that have been lit, still before Shabbat (if the husband moves them and he has not yet accepted Shabbat)?

Answer

Hello 

If Shabbat candles were lit in a place where the obligation is not fulfilled, moving them afterward to their place will not help.

If they were lit in a suitable place and one wishes to move them to another place, by law it is permitted for someone who has not yet accepted Shabbat  to move them from their place.

[However, there are those who are stringent even in this case, and it is proper to consider their opinion unless there is a necessity].
