Question
It often happens that I want to accept Shabbat earlier, but I haven't prayed Mincha. Does this prevent me, or can I accept Shabbat even before the Mincha prayer?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is not possible to pray Mincha after you have accepted Shabbat upon yourself.
Therefore, if you have not yet prayed, do not accept Shabbat upon yourself.
You can accept upon yourself to refrain from work, but not the acceptance of 'Shabbat'.
