Woke Up After Prayer Time
Question
A person who woke up in the morning after the prayer time, should they pray the entire prayer as usual?
Answer
Hello,
According to the Shulchan Aruch, the blessings of the Shema cannot be recited after four hours [end of prayer time], and in his opinion, it is forbidden to bless them afterward, and if one did, it is a blessing in vain. However, some say that if it was due to circumstances beyond one's control, they can be recited until midday.
The Amidah prayer should ideally be completed by the end of four hours, and if not prayed, it can be done after the fact until midday.
