Shoola Yogam runs all day, till 6.16 pm; Bhadra Karanam runs till 11.22 pm. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer a good part of the Gowri Panchangam and ask your family's jyotishi.
Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.
