Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:20), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:52) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:21). 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 Muscat with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Muscat does not change its clocks; times stay on Asia/Muscat all year. How times are calculated

Ramadan timetable for MuscatMuscat is the capital, home to about 800,000 people. Muscat lies 1.6° west of the 60° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 6 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:06, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Muscat: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 90° above the horizon in June and only 43° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Muscat range from 10h 41m in December to 13h 35m in June, a difference of 2h 54m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
Muscat is the capital of Oman, the only country where the Ibadi school of Islam is dominant. About 95% of Omanis are Muslim, and Ibadis and Sunnis each make up roughly 45 to 47% of the Muslims, with about 5% Shia, according to the US State Department and the CIA World Factbook. Ibadism is named after Abdallah ibn Ibad and traces its roots to the early Kharijite movement; Ibadis arrived in Oman around 700 CE, and the imamate ended as a political entity after the Jebel Akhdar War of 1954 to 1959. At least seven Twelver Shia mosques exist in Muscat, and in November 2022 the largest Shia mosque in the country opened there, built on the orders of the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs.
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is the main mosque of Muscat and is of the Ibadi tradition. Construction began in 1994, took six years and seven months, and the mosque was inaugurated on 4 May 2001. It holds up to 20,000 worshippers in all: more than 6,500 in the main prayer hall, 750 in the women's prayer hall and 8,000 in the outer courtyard. The main carpet measures over 70 by 60 metres, has 1.7 million knots, weighs 21 tonnes and took four years to make, and it was the largest single-piece carpet in the world until 2018. The chandelier is 14 metres high, weighs 7.7 tonnes and has 600,000 crystals, and there are five minarets, the main one 90 metres high and four of 45.5 metres.
For prayer times, Muscat lies at 23.6 degrees north and keeps UTC+4 without daylight saving.
