–  Q. One who usually lights a Yohrzait candle for his father on the day when Izkor is recited in shul. Due to sudden sickness issues he was in hospital and unable to do so this last day of Shavuos, should he light a candle when he returns home and is able to light?

A. On question 2942 we wrote:
“If someone forgot to kindle a Yohrzait candle on that day for a father or mother, what is the correct thing to do. Should one light two candles when he/she remembers? What happens if someone just remembered in the Yohrzait morning, is lighting for part of the day enough?

To what we answered: If one forgot to kindle a Yorzait candle on that day for a father or mother, Yehuda Yaale (Y.D. 315) rules that he should donate the value of the light for tzedaka.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that he should light a candle the day he remembers. Lighting the candle in the morning is also after the fact acceptable.
