# 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).

[https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=74381 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Shemot 5779 approx min 30)] explained that his father used to say mincha only after mincha ketana but later said it at mincha gedola. He recommended it for a yeshiva setting. He also explained that the Rif and Rosh hold that it is permitted even initially to say mincha at mincha gedola.</ref> | ||
# One should pray Mincha before sunset.<ref> Mishna | # If one can either pray mincha by oneself at mincha ketana or with a minyan at mincha gedola one should say it at mincha gedola with a minyan.<ref> [https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=74381 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Shemot 5779 min 43)] said that although the Shoel Vnishal held that it is better to daven by oneself than to daven at mincha gedola the halacha doesn't follow that opinion.</ref> | ||
