# The Shitat HaKadmonim (last page of bava kama) has the Sh”t Maharam Chavallah (a rishon; the Sh”t was written by the Maharam Challavah’s son in name of his father) which writes that his Rabbi, the Ramban, held that women are obligated in Sefirah (See Ramban Kiddushin 34a). The Maharam Challavah explains that since the time doesn’t cause the mitzvah it’s not considered “Zman Grama”. It happens to be time-bound since of another factor which is that the mitzvah of Sefirah depends on the Korban Omer which itself is bound by time. The Sh”t Maharam Challavah compares it to the obligation on women to eat Shabbat meals which require birkat hamazon. That doesn’t make birkat hamazon a mitzvah Aseh SheZman Grama because the birkat hamazon is obligated as a result of the meal which itself is time bound. | # The Shitat HaKadmonim (last page of bava kama) has the Sh”t Maharam Chavallah (a rishon; the Sh”t was written by the Maharam Challavah’s son in name of his father) which writes that his Rabbi, the Ramban, held that women are obligated in Sefirah (See Ramban Kiddushin 34a).

# Turei Even (Chagigah 15) writes that Semicha on a Korban isn’t a Mitzvah Aseh SheHaZman Grama since the mitzvah doesn’t have a fixed time. Regarding Tefillin there’s one day to do it and afterwards the mitzvah is lost and there’s a new Mitzvah to wear Tefillin. However, by Semicha that same Mitzvah could be done any day during the daytime. [See Minchat Elazar 2:47’s second reason regarding the building of the Bet HaMikdash.] | |||
# The Rambam (Bet HaBechirah 1:12) writes that everyone is obligated in building the Bet HaMikdash. The questioner in Sh”t Shoel UMeshiv Tanina 3:89 (beginning paragraph D”H Heneh) inquires as to why women are obligated since it’s a mitzvah that only applies during the day and being a time-bound mitzvah, women should be exempt. | |||
* However, the Sh”t Shoel UMeshiv answers that because men are obligated, women are also obligated. The reason for this is since the whole reason of a women being exempt is that women are subservient to their husbands and don’t have time to fulfill time-bound מצות, however since their husbands are obligated, they too can fulfill this mitzvah properly. | |||
* Alternatively, the Sh”t Minchat Elazar 2:47 writes that since the mitzvah includes donations to the Bet HaMikdash which can be given at night as well, then it’s not considered a time bound mitzvah. [My (Ike Sultan) difficulty with this answer is that the mitzvah should still be time bound since one can’t build nor donate to the Mikdash on Shabbat and holidays.] | |||
* The Minchat Elazar’s second reason is that since the mitzvah is incomplete and could continued to be fulfilled each day, then, even if the mitzvah doesn’t apply during the night, still it’s considered not time-bound unlike Tefillin which is time bound and once the day passes there’s a new mitzvah to fulfill. [See Turei Even regarding Semicha.] | |||
