Question
When is Mincha prayed on the eve of Shabbat Chanukah?
Answer
On the eve of Shabbat Chanukah, Mincha should be prayed before lighting the Chanukah candles.
Source
See Pri Megadim and Mishnah Berurah (Siman 679, Se'if Katan 2; Sha'ar HaTziyun, Ot 7). The reason is that if Mincha is prayed after lighting, it might be considered as relating to the time of the next day, whereas praying Mincha relates to Friday. Azmera Leshimcha (Issue 119).
