When voluntary prayer is disliked

  • While the sun is rising: 08:24 – 08:39
  • While the sun is at its highest point, shortly before 12:49
  • While the sun is setting: 16:57 – 17:12

Approximate intervals of about 15 minutes. Voluntary prayer is also disliked after praying Fajr until sunrise and after praying Asr until sunset; in the Hanafi school no prayer at all is offered at the three times above. Scholars differ on the details; ask your local imam if in doubt.

Fajr and Isha at high latitudes

From 6 May to 6 August the sun in Polotsk never sinks 18.0° below the horizon, so the twilight that defines Fajr never fully ends.

For Isha (17.0°) this happens from 10 May to 2 August.

On those dates Fajr and Isha are estimated with the angle-based rule: the night is divided in proportion to the twilight angle, e.g. 18/60 of the night for 18°. You can choose another rule in the calculation settings.

Prayer times by calculation method, 8 November

Mosques use different twilight angles for Fajr and Isha, which is why timetables in Polotsk can differ: today the earliest and latest Fajr are 35 min apart, and Isha differs by up to 37 min.
