Question
Can a woman who is unable to light candles recite the blessing while her husband lights the candles for her?
Answer
Ideally, in this situation where the husband lights on her behalf, it is appropriate for him to recite the blessing on the lighting, as in all commandments performed by an agent, the agent recites the blessing and not the sender. However, in a case of necessity, her blessing is valid only if she is present at the time of lighting.
