# 4263 Does This Add Up?

Question

Someone that davens in a minyan where Mincha is before the Plag and Maariv after, should he have special intention not to comply with the mitzva of Kerias Shema at Maariv, since he may transgress on the prohibition of Ba’al Tosif, or adding the Shema at the time it should not be read yet?

Answer

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that since there are Halacha views that rule that even on that time one can comply with the mitzva of Kerias Shema, there is no concern of transgressing on the ‘Baal Tosif’ prohibition.
