KIDDUSH LAVANAH ON FRIDAY NIGHT

Question:

Sometimes in the winter the last day of KIDDUSH LEVANNAH can come out on FRIDAY NIGHT. If Friday is the last day, can it be said or should it be said?

Answer:

The poskim say that if one is left with no choice and it is almost the end of the time to say kiddush levana, that it may be said on Shabbos. However some poskim suggest that only the bracha be said.

Best wishes
