Until What Time Can One Pray the Amidah of Shacharit?
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I would like to know until what time one can say the Shmoneh Esrei prayer for a person who is forced to do so at the early hours of the morning.
Thank you very much and best wishes.
Answer
Greetings,
Ideally, one should pray the Amidah of Shacharit before the time for the prayer passes (four hours after dawn - see the exact time in the Zmanim schedule for your local area). If, for some reason, you were unable to do so, you can still pray the Amidah until noon (see Shulchan Aruch and Rema, Orach Chaim 89:1, and Mishna Berura 6).
Best regards,
Hillel Meirs
