Question
Dear Rabbi,
If the second day of Rosh Hashanah falls on a Friday or the second day of the Diaspora Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret falls on a Friday, and a woman lights candles in honor of Shabbat, is she allowed to still pray Musaf? Mincha?
And also on Chanukah that falls on a Friday, if a woman lights candles in honor of Shabbat, is she allowed to still pray Hallel?
Answer
Hello,
She cannot pray Mincha and Musaf unless she made a condition that she is not accepting Shabbat with the lighting.
The same applies to reciting Hallel with a blessing. [However, she can recite Hallel without a blessing].
