Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:21), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:01) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:32). 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.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Berlin

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Merseburg is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. Fajr and Isha then use the seventh-of-the-night rule, a standard high latitude adjustment. How times are calculated

Merseburg, the Sun and the clock

Merseburg is in Saxony-Anhalt and has about 35,000 people. The nearest larger city is Halle (Saale), 14 km to the north. Merseburg lies 3° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 12 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:12, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:12.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Merseburg: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 62° above the horizon in June and only 15° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Merseburg range from just 7h 51m in December to 16h 37m in June, a difference of 8h 46m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
