One Who is Unsure Whether or Not He Said Me'en Shalosh

One Who is Unsure Whether or Not He Said Me'en Shalosh
Day: Tuesday
Date: February 16, 2016
Parshat: Titzaveh
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 208


There are some poskim who maintain that me'en shalosh is a De'oraita requirement. Other poskim hold that the requirement is Derabanan. The Shulhan Aruch follows the option that maintains that it is Derabanan and therefore one who is unsure whether or not he said me'en shalosh does not say it again in order to be sure. It is is best though in that case to eat another kezayit of mezonot or fruits of the shiv'at haminim in order to require oneself to say the after beracha. In that case he does not say a new beracha before the food. Instead he should think the beracha without articulating the words.
