Duha

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:51), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:02) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:11). 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 Sanford with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

8 March, 1 NovemberAmerica/New_York

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

Sanford, the Sun and the clock

Sanford is in North Carolina and has about 29,000 people. The nearest larger city is Chapel Hill, 50 km to the north-northeast. Sanford lies 4.2° west of the 75° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 17 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:17, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:17.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Sanford: 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 Sanford range from 9h 45m in December to 14h 33m in June, a difference of 4h 48m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.

Maghrib time Sanford compared with nearby cities

Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Sanford, calculated with the same method.
