Interrupting Grace After Meals Following the Zimun
Question
If a person is reciting the “zimun” (invitation to say the Grace After Meals) and has already completed the entire text of the “zimun”, but before he began to recite his Grace After Meals, he changed his mind and decided that he does not want to recite it. Is he allowed to stop now? And what is the law in the above case if he remembered that he did not wash his fingers after the meal (“mayim achronim”)?
Answer
Shalom!
It is forbidden to stop after reciting the “Zimun”.
