Fajr and Isha at high latitudes
From 9 May to 3 August the sun in Belfast never sinks 18.0° below the horizon, so the twilight that defines Fajr never fully ends.
For Isha (17.0°) this happens from 13 May to 30 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 Belfast
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, 8 November
