# The latest time to say Shemona Esreh of Shacharit is the end of the fourth hour (in Shaot Zmaniot). <Ref>The Mishna (Brachot 26a) writes that the latest time Shacharit could be said according to Rabbi Yehuda is the fourth hour and according to the Rabbis is the sixth hour. The Gemara (27a) writes that we hold like Rabbi Yehuda because there is a Mishna in Ediyot that supports Rabbi Yehuda. This is codified by the Rif 18a, Rosh 4:1, and Rambam (Tefillah 3:1). The halacha is brought in Tur and Shulchan Aruch 89:1 </ref>

# 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>

<div id=“pastthefourthhour”></div> * 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 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.
