Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:26), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:36) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:44). 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 Ridgecrest with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

8 March, 1 NovemberAmerica/Los_Angeles

Clocks change on 8 March and 1 November. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. How times are calculated

Ridgecrest, the Sun and the clock

Ridgecrest is in California and has about 29,000 people. The nearest larger city is Lancaster, 111 km to the south-southwest. Ridgecrest lies 2.3° east of the 120° W meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest about 9 minutes before 12:00 on average, around 11:51, and Dhuhr comes earlier than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 12:51.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Ridgecrest: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 78° above the horizon in June and only 31° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Ridgecrest range from 9h 45m in December to 14h 34m in June, a difference of 4h 49m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.

Maghrib time Ridgecrest compared with nearby cities
