Question
In our settlement, we only have one minyan for the sunrise prayer. I woke up late, and they were already at Musaf. I was unsure whether to join the community for Musaf and then pray Shacharit alone, or to pray Shacharit and then Musaf in the regular order, even if I completely miss praying with the community.
Answer
One should first pray Shacharit and then Musaf, even if it means praying everything alone. However, if you can manage to pray Shacharit silently along with the community while they are praying Musaf, it is appropriate to do so.
