Paris prayer times overview
For Paris it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Local time is applied for Paris: the city's time zone is 1 hour behind Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Paris geographic location is 48.8566°N, 2.3522°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Paris the sun rises at 06:31, while Maghrib begins at 21:22. Daylight lasts 14 часов 51 minute. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Paris the period from Maghrib (21:22) to Fajr (04:11) lasts 6 часов 49 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Paris the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Paris, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:11), Maghrib (21:22) and Isha (23:30) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Paris prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:11: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:31: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:57: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 19:05: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:22: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:30: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Paris
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Paris daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:11) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:22) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Paris it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
