Question

Shalom and blessings, I am in the year of mourning, and sometimes I finish the Amidah prayer when the chazan is already concluding the prayer. I wanted to know if I am allowed to recite the Mourner's Kaddish after I have finished the Shemoneh Esrei, but have not yet said 'Elokai Netzor'?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

It is forbidden to recite Kaddish before 'Elokai Netzor', just as it is forbidden to respond 'Amen' there. However, you can conclude the prayer there and take three steps back, and immediately recite Kaddish, since reciting Tachanun at the end of the prayer is not obligatory.
