Question
I remembered that I did not pray Musaf [of Rosh Chodesh], and I have a few minutes left. I can manage either Mincha or Musaf. Which is preferable?
Answer
The Mishnah Berurah brings a dispute about whether Musaf is preferable because one can pray Maariv twice as compensation for Mincha, or if Mincha is preferable. In practice, one should pray Mincha, and only if there is time, also pray Musaf.
