#5398 Who's Counting?
Question
Dearest Rov Shlit”a. I overheard someone asking in Shul to a friend, “Is it today so many days to the Omer”, and the friend answered “Yes it is”, can they still count then with a bracha?
Answer
Kaf Hachaim 61, Nitei Gavriel 37: 9 and other Poskim rule they can.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is similar.
Horav Yaakov Hirschman Shlit”a noted that this shaila applies only to the fellow asking. The one answering did not count at all!
