==Saying Shema without Tefillin==
# It is forbidden to say Kriyat Shema without Tefillin.<ref>Brachot 14b, Shulchan Aruch 25:4, Olot Tamid 58:1, Eliyah Raba 58:5, Kaf HaChaim 58:11, Halacha Brurah 58:5, and Mishna Brurah (58:5 and 25:14) rule that if there’s no fear of missing the time for Shema one shouldn’t say Shema without [[Tefillin]].</ref> Doing so is like one is testifying false testimony against oneself since in Shema it says to wear Tefillin and one isn't practicing what one is saying.<ref>Tosfot 14b s.v. vmanach, Levush 25:1, Mishna Brurah 25:14</ref>
# If one doesn’t have [[Tallit]] and [[Tefillin]] and is going to miss the time for Kriyat Shema one should say Kriyat Shema with [[Brachot]] in time and then repeat it with [[Tallit]] and [[Tefillin]] without [[Brachot]]. The same is true even if one is unsure whether one will miss the time for Kriyat Shema. <ref> [[Brachot]] 14b says there that Rav said Shema and then put on [[Tallit]] and [[Tefillin]] because the person who was bringing his [[Tallit]] and [[Tefillin]] forgot to bring it by the time for Shema. This is also the opinion of Levush 58:2, Sharei Knesset Gedolah 58:9, Olot Tamid 58:1, Eliyah Raba 58:5, Mishna Brurah 58:5, and Kaf HaChaim 58:11. Mishna Brurah 58:5 and Halacha Brurah 58:5 rule that one should also say Shema without [[Tefillin]] if there’s a doubt one will miss the time. </ref>

# If there’s no fear of missing the time for Kriyat Shema one should put on [[Tallit]] and [[Tefillin]] before saying Shema. <ref> Gemara [[Brachot]] says that saying Shema without [[Tefillin]] is like testifying against oneself because the parsha of Shema includes the command to wear [[Tefillin]]. Olot Tamid 58:1, Eliyah Raba 58:5, Kaf HaChaim 58:11, Halacha Brurah 58:5, and Mishna Brurah (58:5 and 25:14) rule that if there’s no fear of missing the time for Shema one shouldn’t say Shema without [[Tefillin]]. </ref>
# It is permitted to say Kriyat Shema without wearing Tzitzit.<ref>Levush 25:1 explains that it is only like testifying false testimony when saying Shema without Tefillin since it is a personal obligation, but Tzitzit which is only an obligation if one is already wearing a four cornered garment but otherwise it is possible to avoid it isn't an issue to say Shema without Tzitzit.</ref>
