Question

Is it possible to light candles and not accept Shabbat?

Answer

According to the law, a woman accepts Shabbat at the time of lighting the candles. However, in a case of necessity, she can stipulate that she is not accepting Shabbat. Ideally, in such a case, it is appropriate for the husband to accept Shabbat at her lighting. If there was no stipulation but only an intention to perform work after the lighting, even though the Rema writes that a mental stipulation also helps, this thought does not act as a stipulation, and it is forbidden to perform work. The woman's blessing on the husband's lighting.
