Question
Is it permissible to prepare a salad before the morning prayer for breakfast?
Answer
If it is for the purpose of a mitzvah, such as for children, or if one is going to the kollel and not returning home after the prayer, and it is impossible to prepare it after the morning prayer, it is permissible to prepare beforehand. For women, it is permitted in any case, but it is preferable for them to recite the morning blessings before preparation.
