#The earliest time that one should put on [[Tallit|''tallit'']] is [[MeSheYakir|''misheyakir'']] after ''[[HaNetz|hanetz.]]''<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 18:3. Shulchan Aruch 18:3 rules that the time to make the bracha on [[Tallit]] is from ''[[MeSheYakir|mesheyakir]]''. There is a dispute among the achronim about when exactly [[MeSheYakir|''mesheyakir'']] is. Because of [[Safek Brachot LeHakel]], Halacha Brurah 18:6 one may not make the bracha earlier than a fifth of an hour (in [[Shaot Zmaniot]]) after [[Olot HaShachar|alot hashachar]]. See Rama 18:3 that one may make a bracha at alot hashachar. Mishna Brurah 18:10 writes that although one should be stringent like the Shulchan Aruch; however, one should not stop someone who does like the Rama. Aruch Hashulchan 18:9 rules according to Rama. The Mishna Brurah adds that even for one who follows the Rama should wait with the bracha until [[MeSheYakir|''mesheyakir'']]. He adds that one who makes a bracha, even at night, need not make another one because there are rishonim who hold that one can make the bracha at night.</ref> Ashkenazim, if they must, may put on ''tallit'' as early as ''alot hashachar''; yet they should not make a ''bracha'' until ''[[MeSheYakir|misheyakir]].''<ref>Rama O.C. 18:3, Mishna Brurah 18:10, Piskei Teshuvot 30:1 </ref> When making the ''bracha'', one should feel the ''tzitzit.''<ref>Rama O.C. 18:3</ref> If one already made a ''bracha'' they should not repeat it, even if they made it before ''alot hashachar''.<ref>Mishna Brurah 18:10</ref>

#If one needs to travel or in a case of difficulty one may pray [[Shacharit|''shacharit'']] after ''[[Olot HaShachar|alot hashachar]]'' before [[HaNetz|hanetz]], but nonetheless one may not make the ''bracha'' on [[Tallit|''tallit'']] and [[Tefillin|''tefillin'']] or say [[Kriyat Shema|''kriyat shema'']] until [[MeSheYakir|''misheyakir'']]. <ref>*The Rosh (Brachot 4:1) writes that even though ideally one should pray at [[HaNetz]] (sunrise) if one prayed after [[Olot HaShachar]] one would have fulfilled one’s obligation. This is also the opinion of many rishonim including Tosfot 30a (D”H Avuha), Rambam ([[Tefillah]] 3:7, Sh”t Rambam 27), Rabbenu Yerucham (according to Bet Yosef 89:1) and the Tur 89:1. This is codified in Shulchan Aruch 89:1.

*There is a minority of Rishonim who hold that in extenuating circumstances one is permitted to pray [[Shacharit]] before [[Olot HaShachar]]. The basis of this approach is Rashi (Brachot 30a s.v. VeLayaved), Sh”t Raavan (176), and Raavad (quoted by the Sefer Hashlamah).
