# If a person has two factors to make a bracha (Safek Safeka) he still shouldn't make the bracha.<ref>Mishna Brurah 215:20 quotes the Chaye Adam who says that for a Safek Safeka you can't make a bracha in a case of safek safeka. However, in Mishna Brurah 4:30 he quotes Rabbi Akiva Eiger (Magen Avraham 4:12) who says you can make a bracha because of a safek safeka. Sdei Chemed Asifat Dinim Marechet Brachot 1:18, Michtam Ldovid, and Torat Chesed say not to make a bracha with a safek safeka. Dovev Meisharim 32 says that you could make the bracha but you don't have to. If there's three sefakot the Tuv Taam Vdaat 1:181 that you can make the bracha but the Michtam Ldovid and Torat Chesed say it doesn't help. Lechem Mishna Brachot 4:6 says you can make a bracha.</ref> | # If a person has two factors to make a bracha (Safek Safeka) he still shouldn't make the bracha.<ref>Mishna Brurah 215:20 quotes the Chaye Adam who says that for a Safek Safeka you can't make a bracha in a case of safek safeka.

# If there's a dispute whether one should make a bracha one shouldn't recite it just like if there was a doubt if one needed to recite it. However, if the minhag in a certain case is to recite it then one can.<ref>Trumat Hadeshen 34 explicitly writes that even though when there's a dispute about a bracha a person shouldn't make that bracha because of safek brachot when there's a minhag he can recite that bracha. Rav Ovadia in Yabia Omer OC 1:40:14, 2:25, 3:17, 4:23, 7:51, 8:8, 8:23, 9:23, 9:84, YD 10:58 accepts this principle and quotes scores of achronim who agree.</ref> | |||

## If one intended to include other food in one's bracha, then even if that food is somewhere else, one's original bracha is valid.<Ref>Rama 206:6, Mishna Brurah 206:26. See Yeshuot Dovid ch. 2 who quotes the Halacha Brurah Minchat Shmuel who says fundamentally Shulchan Aruch agrees with the Rama when a person has direct intent to exempt other food.

==Bracha Sheina Tzaricha== | |||
# If there's a situation where one needs to cause oneself to become obligated in a bracha to avoid a dispute one can do so and it isn't considered a bracha sheina tzaricha. If one can avoid this one should do so.<ref>Vezot Habracha Birur Halacha 29. Shulchan Aruch O.C. 174:4 to avoid the dispute in the rishonim if wine of melava malka is covered by the havdalah wine you should intend that the wine of havdalah doesn't exempt it. Shulchan Aruch O.C. 174:7 codifies Rosh that since Rashi holds water isn't exempted by the meal you should make shehakol on a glass of water before a meal in order to exempt it in the meal rather than have it in the meal without a bracha and rely on the rest of the rishonim. Igrot Moshe 4:40:1 writes that you should lechatchila make shinuy makom to avoid a safek brachot and that's called tzaricha.</ref> | |||
