Question
Managed to pray only the Amidah before the end of prayer time, what should be done now regarding the blessings of Shema?
Answer
If he was compelled, he may recite the blessings until midday, but if he was not compelled, he does not recite them. For Sephardim, see sources.
Source
Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim, Siman 58, Paragraph 6), Mishnah Berurah and Biur Halacha (there). For Sephardim, there is a discussion, as the Shulchan Aruch is not explicit, and the Kaf HaChaim (Subsection 25) expands on this, stating that if the Sephardic custom is that in any case, even if compelled, they do not recite the blessings, and he himself ruled to recite without mentioning the Name and Kingship.
