One Who is Unsure if he Counted the Sefirat Haomer

One Who is Unsure if he Counted the Sefirat Haomer
Day: Friday
Date: May 6, 2016
Parshat: Aharei Mot
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 489


One who is not sure whether he counted the Sefirat Haomer the previous night or not may still count with a beracha the following nights. The reason is because there is a "safek sfeka," an uncertainty within an uncertainty. The first uncertainty is maybe he really did count the night before. The second, as mentioned previously (May 2, 2016), is that maybe each night is its own mitzvah. Because of these two uncertainties he may continue counting with a beracha.
