# Someone who listens to someone else make HaGomel has fulfilled the obligation if one heard the entire Bracha. However, if the one making the Hagomel wasn’t obligated in the Bracha, someone who’s listening doesn’t fulfill the obligation unless one answers [[Amen]]. <Ref> S”A 219:4,5 </ref>

# Some are in doubt whether someone can fulfill the obligation of the person listening if the listener and the one making the Bracha have different reasons for obligation of the HaGomel. Rather, only someone who is obligated in HaGomel for the same reason should fulfill someone else’s obligation. <ref> Hagahot Rabbi Akiva Eiger 219:5 leaves this question in doubt. Therefore this situation should be avoided (see Piskei Teshuvot 219 note 90). </ref> However, some argue that anyone who’s obligated in HaGomel can fulfill the obligation of someone else. <Ref>Yalkut Yosef (Otzer Dinim LeIsha pg 162-4) </ref>
