# The ideal Mitzvah is to start praying [[Shemoneh Esrei]] of Shacharit at Netz HaChama (sunrise). <ref> Gemara Brachot 26a writes the ideal time to pray Shacharit is at Netz HaChama and that was the practice of the Vatikin (those who fulfill the מצות early and in the proper time). This is codified by the Rambam (Tefillah 3:1), Rosh (Brachot 4:1), Tur and S”A 89:1 </ref>

* The Rosh (Brachot 4:1) writes that even though ideally one should pray at Netz (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 S”A 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 D”H VeLayaved), Sh”t Raavan (176), and Raavad (quoted by the Sefer Hashlamah).

* Shulchan Aruch 89:8 rules that in cases of extenuating circumstances such as where one has to travel early one may pray Shacharit [[Shemoneh Esrei]] immediately after [[Olot HaShachar]]. This is also mentioned in Mishna Brurah 89:1.

* The Ish Matzliach (commentary on Mishna Brurah 89:1) writes that minhag yerushalim is to assume Mesheyakir is an hour before Netz. Yalkut Yosef (Tefillah pg 137) writes that for workers one may be lenient to consider Mesheyakir from 6 minutes after Olot. </ref>
## Therefore, a person who needs to pray early in the morning in order to get to work should pray with a minyan that prays early according to the following schedule: say up to Birchot Kriyat Shema without Talit and Tefillin (except for Shaliach Tzibbur who should put on Talit and Tefillin before Yishtabach), when [[MeSheYakir]] arrives put on Talit and Tefillin, then continue from there. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30). Sh"t Igrot Moshe 4:6 writes that a person who needs to make it to work is considered an extenuating circumstance in which S"A 89:8 writes that one may pray Shacharit after Olot Hashachar.</ref>

## However, if one feels that it’s just too dark and one can’t understand what the people are relying on to put on Tefillin so early one should say up to  Baruch SheAmar before traveling and then pray at one’s office. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30)</ref>
