Reply To: Amen to women’s bracha

Whether a woman can make a bracha on time dependent mitzva is a machlokes between the Rabbenu Tam whose view is that an unnecessary bracha is only assur rabbinically therefore as there is no chiyuv but there can be a mitzva, so they can, and the Rambam, Mechaber whose view is that it is assur because of lo siso, see Rosh Hashana (1,33). So for the ashkenazim, an Amen should be recited on their bracha.
