Question
I can now manage to pray Shacharit before the end of the prayer time, but I won't be able to pray with a minyan and tefillin. However, I can go to a place where there are still minyans, and there I will be able to pray as usual with a minyan and tefillin, but it will be after the prayer time. What is preferable?
Answer
If this is a one-time occurrence, it is preferable to pray on time before the end of the prayer time, and afterwards put on tefillin and recite the Shema with the tefillin, but only if this is not a regular practice.
