When voluntary prayer is disliked

  • While the sun is rising: 7:23 am – 7:38 am
  • While the sun is at its highest point, shortly before 11:52 am
  • While the sun is setting: 4:06 pm – 4:21 pm

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 13 May to 30 July the sun in Rochdale never sinks 18.0° below the horizon, so the twilight that defines Fajr never fully ends.

For Isha (17.0°) this happens from 17 May to 25 July.

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.

How prayer times are set in Rochdale

The United Kingdom has no national timetable: each mosque sets its own, and methods differ most in summer, when twilight lasts longest.

The times on this page show when each prayer begins. Congregation times are set by each mosque, so check them with the mosque you attend.

Prayer times by calculation method, 9 November

Mosques use different twilight angles for Fajr and Isha, which is why timetables in Rochdale can differ: today the earliest and latest Fajr are 34 min apart, and Isha differs by up to 31 min.
