Question
We want to pray Mincha right before sunset, but the Chazzan's repetition will be after sunset (within 13.5 minutes after sunset). Should we pray with a minyan or is it better individually?
Answer
They should pray with a minyan and conduct a short Mincha. If a short Mincha was not done, the Mishnah Berurah and Chazon Ish have differing opinions on whether to perform the Chazzan's repetition after sunset (within 13.5 minutes). According to all opinions, if the repetition will end more than 13.5 minutes after sunset, it should not be started.
