Question

Can an Ashkenazi, for example, recite a blessing over Hallel on Rosh Chodesh, as Rabbi Ovadia in Yabia Omer, Part 5, Siman 37, states that the first opinion is nullified and one should follow Sephardic customs, and although there are disagreements, doubts are not resolved, and doubts in blessings are to be lenient.

Answer

Shalom Rav

The opinion of the poskim is that an Ashkenazi community is not nullified, and it is considered as two rabbinical courts in the same city, each following its own customs.

This is not a doubt, but rather the halacha. Therefore, there is no doubt regarding the blessings.
