Question
What are the ideal and post-facto times for the Musaf prayers?
Answer
The time for the Musaf prayer is divided into three periods:
A. The ideal time is until Mincha Gedola, which is half an hour after midday, so that one can pray Shacharit, Musaf, and Mincha.
B. From Mincha Gedola until the end of the seventh hour [between half an hour after midday and one hour after midday], it is still an ideal time for Musaf, and it is not considered negligent, but it is not ideal because Mincha should precede Musaf.
C. After the seventh hour until the end of the day, one is considered negligent for not praying at the appropriate time, but one can still pray Musaf and fulfill the obligation.
