Hilchot Chanukah 4:9-10 (Invalid lighting of Chanukah candles)
9:22 am
If a candle is already lit at nightfall, may a person rely upon it as his Chanukah candle? If a person lights in one place, may he move the candle to its proper location afterward? And if someone holds the lit candle in his hand instead of placing it down, has he fulfilled the mitzvah?
