#In many yeshivos the minhag is to daven ''mincha gedola'' to avoid breaking up a ''seder,'' a fixed section of learning.<ref>Piskei Teshuvot 233:2. [https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=74381 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Shemot 5779 approx min 30)] explained that his father used to say mincha only after mincha ketana but later said it at mincha gedola. He recommended it for a yeshiva setting. He also explained that the Rif and Rosh hold that it is permitted even initially to say mincha at mincha gedola.</ref> | #In many yeshivos the minhag is to daven ''mincha gedola'' to avoid breaking up a ''seder,'' a fixed section of learning.<ref>Piskei Teshuvot 233:2.

#If one needs to travel or have a meal (which is forbidden before praying, once the time for [[Mincha|''mincha'']] arrives), one can pray from after six and a half hours. <ref>Mishna Brurah 233:1 writes that if one needs to travel, have a meal, or one will only be able to make a [[minyan]] for [[Mincha]] earlier, then one can pray from after six and a half hours. Kaf HaChaim 233:1 also writes that there are those who are lenient to pray early if there is a need. Yalkut Yosef ([[Brachot]] page 637) and Halichot Olam (vol 1 pg 253) writes that it is preferable to pray after six and a half hours in order to avoid having a meal before praying [[Mincha]] (after the time for [[Mincha]] has arrived). </ref> | #If one needs to travel or have a meal (which is forbidden before praying, once the time for [[Mincha|''mincha'']] arrives), one can pray from after six and a half hours. <ref>Mishna Brurah 233:1 writes that if one needs to travel, have a meal, or one will only be able to make a [[minyan]] for [[Mincha]] earlier, then one can pray from after six and a half hours.

#If one prayed prior to six and a half hours, according to many one has not fulfilled one’s obligation | #If one prayed prior to six and a half hours, according to many, one has not fulfilled one’s obligation; however, some say that one has fulfilled one's obligation after the fact. <ref>Mishna Brurah 233:2 writes that it is implied from Shulchan Aruch 233:1 that one has not fulfilled one's obligation (and is agreed upon by many achronim); however, there are some achronim who say that after the fact one has fulfilled one’s obligation. Kaf HaChaim 233:2 quotes the dispute of the achronim but concludes that because [[Tefillah]] is derabbanan one does not have to pray again. </ref> | ||
