Question
If someone knows they won't have time to recite the passage of Tzitzit during prayer before the time for Shema, and therefore says it beforehand, do they also need to say 'Vayomer' or not (since 'Vayomer' seems unrelated, as it is only said for the remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt mentioned in it)?
Answer
Shalom and blessings,
The sages instituted the recitation of the passage of Tzitzit during the recitation of Shema.
See sources.
