* The Gemara [[Brachot]] 5b quotes Abba Binyamin who said that he would make every effort to pray immediately upon [[waking up]]. Rashi (s.v. Samuch) explains that Abba Binyamin wouldn't even learn prior to praying Shema. The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 1:7) asks what possible drove Rashi to explain that he didn't even learn before praying and explains that perhaps for a person who doesn't usually pray with a [[minyan]] it's likely that if he learns he'll continue and miss saying Shema and [[Shmoneh Esrei]] by the latest time. Based on the Rosh, Shulchan Aruch 89:6 rules that once the time for Shachrit comes one may not learn before praying [[Shacharit]] unless one always goes to pray with a [[minyan]].

* However, this leniency of always praying with a [[minyan]] is only found in Shulchan Aruch regarding learning before [[Shacharit]] (Shulchan Aruch 89:6), but not in regards to eating before praying [[Shacharit]] (Shulchan Aruch 89:3), [[Mincha]] (Shulchan Aruch 232:2), or [[Arvit]] (Shulchan Aruch 235:2). Nonetheless, the Aruch HaShulchan 232:16 writes that the lenient minhag relies upon this idea that if one always prays in a [[minyan]] one may eat before [[Mincha]]. Additionally, Sh"t Igrot Moshe 4:99 extends it to defend the practice to pray [[Arvit]] late and eat beforehand. Piskei Teshuvot 232:3 uses the Aruch HaShulchan but limits it to someone who goes to a [[minyan]] at a fixed time and also says that it isn't a sufficient leniency to eat a large meal such as a wedding feast. </ref>
