Question
Shalom,
A woman had 5 minutes left until the end of the prescribed time for prayer and she prayed the Shemoneh Esrei.
How should she complete the rest of the prayer?
With regard to Pesukei deZimra, the blessings of Kriyat Shema, and the recitation of Shema itself?
Or is it perhaps preferable for her to pray in the regular order, even if it will be after the proper time?
Thank you very much!

Answer
Shalom u’vracha
Pesukei deZimra – she should say them without Baruch She’amar and Yishtabach. Kriyat Shema – she recites as usual. The blessings of Kriyat Shema may not be recited after the end of the prayer time. However, if the delay was due to oness (circumstances beyond her control), she may make up the blessings as well, until halachic midnight.
All this applies to one who is normally careful to pray on time, but one who is regularly late should pray in order: Baruch She’amar, Pesukei deZimra, Yishtabach, the blessings of Kriyat Shema – if the lateness was due to oness [as above], Kriyat Shema, and the Shemoneh Esrei.
