Question

If someone has already performed Havdalah, can he repeat it to fulfill the obligation for his wife who did not hear Havdalah?

Answer

Initially, he should not fulfill the obligation for his wife; she should perform it herself, [and there is no need to worry about various concerns]. However, if she cannot perform Havdalah, he may fulfill it for her.
