## If one didn't hear a bracha, one shouldn't answer Amen, otherwise it would be considered an [[Amen Yetoma]]. If one didn't hear the bracha, but knows what bracha/Kaddish is being said, one may in fact answer Amen. However, if one is attempting to fulfill an obligation with someone else's bracha, but did not actually hear the whole bracha, one can answer Amen even though he will not fulfill his obligation.<ref>Mishna Brurah 124:31 and 124:34, Shulchan Aruch 124:8</ref> | ## If one didn't hear a bracha, one shouldn't answer Amen, otherwise it would be considered an [[Amen Yetoma]].
