- By all Brachot for food, either Bracha Rishona or Bracha Achrona, one may not fulfill one’s obligation by listening to someone say the bracha unless that person is also going to eat or has eaten the proper Shuir. [1]
- By Brachot HaMitzvah, even if one has already fulfilled one’s obligation one can still fulfill the obligation of others because of the principle of Aravim Zeh BaZeh, the responsibility for our fellow Jew. [2]
- Even though there’s always a mitzvah to answer the Bracha of a fellow Jew, there’s an added reason a person should answer amen when one is listening to a Bracha in order to fulfill one’s obligation. [3]
- In order to fulfill one’s obligation the listener must hear the whole bracha starting from the word Baruch. [4] If one did miss part of the Bracha some say that one can fill in that part by saying those specific words. [5]
- If one was talking while listening to a Bracha one hasn’t fulfilled one’s obligation. [6]
- The one making the Bracha must have intent to fulfill the obligation of the one listening and the one listening to the Bracha must have intent to fulfill his obligation through listening. [7]
