Is it permissible to put on tefillin after sunset?
Question
Hello Rabbi!
Can one put on tefillin after sunset, and if so, how?
Thank you very much
Answer
Hello,
Ideally, one should be very careful to put on tefillin before sunset. However, someone who is in a situation where they cannot can still put them on after sunset for thirteen and a half minutes.

Hillel Meirs
