Question

During Hanukkah, there will be one night when neither I nor the other members of my
family will be home at the time of the lighting. We will return home only at the beginning
the morning of the following day. What should I do regarding the Chanukah candles?

Answer:

You will have to leave your house key with a neighbor who will light your Chanukiya.
for you. This will be your Shaliach (representative). However, your Shaliach will not be able
to pronounce the blessings over the lighting, as the person he represents (you) is not
present.
If the candles can be lit by your wife or another member of your family, this person will light
them while reciting the blessings, as the obligation to light them also falls on her.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
