The Zohar 93b speaks highly of one who prays the amida wearing his [[Tefillin]]. </ref> | # The minimum requirement is to have [[Tefillin]] on during [[Kriyat Shema]] and [[Shmoneh Esrei]].<ref> Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 25:4, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, laws of the mitzvah of [[tefillin]], seif 16.

# | # If one can't put on Tefillin from after [[Alot HaShachar]] until [[Shekiya]] because of his work and would lose his job if he put on Tefillin during the day, then he can keep his job and put on Tefillin before [[Alot Hashachar]] in such an extenuating circumstance.<ref>Igrot Moshe OC 1:10. Rav Moshe Feinstein writes here that one who will lose more than one-fifth of his income by not accepting work that requires such early hours ought to put on Tefillin with a berakha, since it is not worth losing a positive commandment due to a rabbinic prohibition. In this situation, the reason for Chazal’s ruling does not apply since there should be no reason to be concerned that he will fall asleep.</ref> This can apply to other situations in which one would not be able to do so the rest of the day.<ref>Piskei Teshuvot 30:1. An example given is if one must undergo surgery and will not be able to fulfill the mitzvah later. One should not make a berakha before misheyakir in such situations.</ref> | ||
# One who needs to travel before | # One who needs to travel before [[Alot HaShachar]] should wait until the proper time to don Tefillin.<ref> Mishnah Berurah 30:14. While the Shulchan Arukh allows donning Tefillin before [[Alot HaShachar]] and reciting the berakha at misheyakir for one who needs to travel, this would only seem to apply when one is travelling by foot. However, as we tend to travel by vehicle, there is still a concern that one may fall asleep when sitting while wearing Tefillin. The Arukh Ha-Shulchan (OC 30:5) agrees with this view.</ref> | ||
# If one is in the army and going to be on duty all day from before [[Alot HaShachar]] until after [[Shekiya]], according to some poskim he can put on Tefillin then without a bracha, but according to others he shouldn't put on Tefillin then.<ref>[https://he.wikisource.org/wiki/%D7%97%D7%91%D7%9C_%D7%A0%D7%97%D7%9C%D7%AA%D7%95_%D7%92_%D7%91 Chevel Nachalato 3:2] records a long discussion between Rav Yakov Epstein and Rav Avigdor | # If one is in the army and going to be on duty all day from before [[Alot HaShachar]] until after [[Shekiya]], according to some poskim he can put on Tefillin then without a bracha, but according to others he shouldn't put on Tefillin then.<ref>[https://he.wikisource.org/wiki/%D7%97%D7%91%D7%9C_%D7%A0%D7%97%D7%9C%D7%AA%D7%95_%D7%92_%D7%91 Chevel Nachalato 3:2] records a long discussion between Rav Yakov Epstein and Rav Avigdor Nevenzal whether a soldier who is on duty from before Olot until after Shekiya can put on Tefillin before olot. Rav Nevenzal held he could but shouldn't recite a bracha. He is based on Igrot Moshe 1:10 and would apply it even on a mass scale.</ref> | ||
