- See question above - Q. What is the correct time to daven Mincha on on this special year occasion when Friday is Asarah Beteveth.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that some people daven Mincha early.
The reason for this is because they don’t want to daven the Mincha of a Ta’anis in Shabbos clothes and also because they want to distance the Tefilos of a fast day (a day of mourning) from Shabbos. Also, being that Mincha is longer, it is more practical to daven earlier in the day.
Some daven Mincha as usual (immediately before Kabbolas Shabbos). They simply start earlier because of Leining. Even if your Minhag usually is to daven Mincha after Shkiya, this Friday since we lein and say Aneinu during Shemoneh Esreh, one should make sure to daven before Shekiya. (sunset).
