Question
Before sunset, if one has not said Hallel and there is time either for Mincha or Hallel, which should be preferred?
Answer
On days when Hallel is not completed, Mincha takes precedence. On days when Hallel is completed, later authorities are divided on whether one should say Hallel and pray Maariv twice or only pray Mincha. The halacha follows the opinion that one should pray Mincha [and forgo Hallel].
