- Islamic midnight
- 23:45Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

The schools differ in the details, for example about the time after Asr and about make-up prayers, so ask your own scholar if you are unsure.
The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Besançon with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Ramadan timetable for BesançonBesançon, the Sun and the clock
Besançon is in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte and has about 130,000 people. Besançon lies 9° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 36 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:36, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:36.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Besançon: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 66° above the horizon in June and only 19° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Besançon range from just 8h 28m in December to 15h 56m in June, a difference of 7h 28m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
