# According to Ashkenazim it is better to daven mincha after Mincha Gedola (6.5 hours into the day). According to Sephardim, it is preferable to pray mincha after Plag Mincha (10.45 hours into the day.<ref> Rambam (Tefillah 3:2) writes that since they instituted Tefillah corresponding to korbanot the primary time for mincha is mincha ketana, 9.5 hours in the day. Shulchan Aruch OC 233:1 follows the Rambam. Kaf Hachaim 233:3 adds that really the best time is after mincha ketana at plag mincha, 10.45 hours into the day. Rav Nevinsal (BeYitzchak Yikra on Mishna Brurah 233:1) argues that according to the Rambam one should pray after 9.5 hours before 10.45 hours and only pray after 10.45 hours in extenuating circumstances. He even writes that it is preferable to pray before ten and three quarter hours rather than pray with a [[minyan]], however, the minhag is not like this.</ref> | # According to Ashkenazim it is better to daven mincha after Mincha Gedola (6.5 hours into the day).

# Even though ideally one should pray mincha before sunset, if the only options are to either pray mincha before sunset himself or with a minyan after sunset, Ashkenazim hold that one should pray oneself on time, while Sephardim hold that one can wait to pray with the minyan as long as it is within 13.5 minutes after sunset.<ref> Mishna Brurah 233:14 writes that it is better to pray Mincha before shkiyah without a minyan than to pray with a minyan after shkiyah. However, Chacham Ben Zion Abba Shaul (cited in Ishei Yisroel page 296) and Chacham Ovadia Yosef (Yechave Daat 5:22) say that it is preferable to pray with a minyan even if the minyan as long as they are praying within the first thirteen and a half minutes after sunset.</ref> | # Even though ideally one should pray mincha before sunset, if the only options are to either pray mincha before sunset himself or with a minyan after sunset, Ashkenazim hold that one should pray oneself on time, while Sephardim hold that one can wait to pray with the minyan as long as it is within 13.5 minutes after sunset.<ref> Mishna Brurah 233:14 writes that it is better to pray Mincha before shkiyah without a minyan than to pray with a minyan after shkiyah.
