Time for Reciting Shema Before the Brit Milah

Question

A man had a son born in the summer, and since sunset is late it is difficult for the children to come for the recitation of Shema on the night before the brit milah. May they move it earlier and say it before sunset?

Answer

It is permitted, even ideally (lekhatchila), to say it before sunset.
