Question
Is there an issue with praying Maariv on Friday night early, before sunset, and before 40 minutes after sunset?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no issue with this; one can pray Maariv from Plag HaMincha and complete the recitation of Shema at its proper time [each according to the custom of their rabbis at this time].
