# If one didn’t pray until the end of the fourth hour, one should pray Shacharit before the end of the sixth hour (midday, in [[Shaot Zmaniot]]). If one intentionally didn’t pray in the first four hours one should still pray before midday but one should stipulate that if one is exempt that one is praying a voluntary prayer. <Ref>

* The Rif 18a originates that even though we hold like Rabbi Yehuda that the latest time for Shacharit is the fourth hour one could still pray after the fourth hour and receive the reward for praying (albeit having lost the reward for praying it the proper time). The Rosh 4:1, Rambam (Hilchot Tefillah 3:1), and Tur 89:1 hold like the Rif.

* The Bet Yosef 89:1 writes that it seems that the Rosh and Rif base their halacha on the general language of the Gemara (Brachot 26a) “one could to pray all day and receive reward for prayer but loose the reward for prayer in its proper time.” Because this phrase was the Gemara’s way of explaining the halacha of Tashlumin, the Bet Yosef, rules that according to the Rif and Rosh one wouldn’t be able to pray after the fourth hour if a person intentionally didn’t pray in the first four hours.

* However, the Rambam and Tur 89:1 hold that if a person intentionally prayed after the fourth hour he still receives reward for prayer. The Bet Yosef 89:1 explains that the Rambam tried to minimize the dispute between רבנן and Rabbi Yehuda so that there’s not an argument whether one totally fulfills the mitzvah or doesn’t fulfill it at all in the period between the fourth and sixth hour. Rather they both agree that it’s still time for Shacharit but according to Rabbi Yehuda one who prays at that time only receives reward for prayer but not prayer in the proper time while רבנן hold that one would also receive such a reward. According to this explanation, you should be able to pray in this period even if one intentionally didn’t pray beforehand.

* Additionally, if one explains like the Rif then one would be able to at any time even between six and sixth and a half, while according to the Rambam one should only be able to pray as long as there is some opinion which considers it the time for Shacharit. The Bet Yosef adds that the rashba agrees to the Rambam. (It seems that the Bet Yosef understands the Rashba to say that you certainly can not pray during the half hour after Chatzot. The Bach argues that the Rashba meant something else entirely- that one should pray the Tashlumin right after having prayed the obligatory Tefilla.)
