If one missed morning Shema entirely after the fourth hour, may he still recite the Shema text (without blessings) later in the day?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that after the fourth hour one may recite Shema text without blessings throughout the day, though this does not fulfill the mitzvah of Shema — it is like reading Torah. The Mishnah Berurah adds that the biblical obligation to mention Yetziat Mitzrayim (Exodus) remains all day.
