Question
Hello. Unfortunately, I didn't notice how late it got and I haven't prayed Maariv yet. Can I pray now? - 04:41
Answer
Hello
At this time, it is after dawn but before sunrise.
In the case of forgetfulness or an unavoidable situation, you can retrospectively recite the Shema of the evening prayer.

If one was compelled and did not recite the Shema of the evening prayer until dawn, since the sun has not yet risen, he can recite the Shema and thereby fulfill the obligation of the evening Shema
