# Everyone is obligated to say Mussaf just like all other prayers. <ref> Who is obligated to say Mussaf? There’s a dispute in the Gemara Brachot 30a-b whether an individual is obligated or not and perhaps an individual is obligated but is exempted by the congregation in the city. Tosfot 30b D”H Ein quoting Rabbenu Chananel, Rosh Brachot 4:21, and Rambam (Pirush Mishnayot Brachot 4:7 hold that an individual is obligated in Mussaf and is not exempted by the congregation in the city. This is codified by the Tur and S”A 286:2. </ref>

# Women too can pray mussaf. <ref> Chazon Ovadia Shabbat part 2: page 204, Halichos Bas Yisrael volume II page 104. Even though Shut Rabbi Akiva Eiger 9 writes that since Mussaf was established in place of the korban mussaf which was brought by only men and therefore women aren't included in this obligation and Shulchan Aruch rules that women may not recite a beracha on a positive timebound mitzvah, Chacham Ovadia in Chazon Ovadia ibid rules that women may nevertheless recite mussaf since they would receive atonement from the offering of the mussaf just like men. </ref>
