# If one is has an extreme need such as a need to travel to the end of the [[Techum]] for the purpose of a mitzvah after [[Shabbat]] one may pray [[Arvit]] starting from Plag [[Mincha]] (ten and three quarter hours into the day). In such a case one may also say Havdalah early but one may not say the Bracha on the candle (Meorei HaEsh). Even in such a case it is certainly forbidden to do Melacha (activity which is forbidden on [[Shabbat]]) until [[Tzet HaKochavim]]. <ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 293:3 </ref>
