Question
If one sees that the time for reciting Shema according to the Magen Avraham is about to pass, and he has started 'Baruch She'amar', should he skip Pesukei Dezimra and say Ashrei and Yishtabach, or rely on the time for Shema according to the Gra?
Answer
The main halachic opinion follows the second time for reciting Shema [the Gra], and one should not skip. However, if one strictly adheres to the opinion of the Magen Avraham, he may skip and say only Shema, Ashrei, and Yishtabach.
