Question
A person who got up before the time for prayer and deliberately delayed — is he allowed to recite the blessings of Kriat Shema, or should he not adjoin redemption to the prayer? I need an urgent answer, I am currently in the middle of Pesukei deZimra....
Answer
Hello and blessings
If he deliberately delayed until after four hours (the end time for the morning prayer), he does not recite the blessings of Kriat Shema.
