How Makkah Prayer Times Are Calculated
Makkah uses the Umm al-Qura method, Saudi Arabia's official calculation standard. Fajr and Isha are worked out differently here than in most other methods used worldwide: Fajr is set at a sun angle of 18.5 degrees below the horizon, while Isha isn't calculated from the sun's position at all. Instead, it's fixed at 90 minutes after Maghrib year-round, extending to 120 minutes during Ramadan. Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib follow standard solar calculations based on Makkah's exact coordinates.
Why the Times Shift Daily
The sun's position moves through the year, so every prayer time shifts by a minute or two most days. Maghrib and Isha move earliest and latest across the seasons, since they track sunset most closely; Dhuhr barely moves at all, since it's tied to solar noon.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calculation method is used for Makkah prayer times?
Umm al-Qura, the official method of Saudi Arabia, used for Makkah, Madinah, and the rest of the country.
How is Fajr time worked out in Makkah?
Fajr uses a sun-angle of 18.5 degrees below the horizon, one of the standard angles used across different regional calculation methods.
Why doesn't Isha use a sun angle like the other prayers?
Umm al-Qura fixes Isha at 90 minutes after Maghrib year-round (120 minutes during Ramadan) rather than calculating it from twilight, which most other methods do.
Do these times change throughout the year?
Yes, daily, as the sun's position shifts with the seasons.
Are Makkah times the same as Madinah times?
No, they're close but not identical, since the two cities sit at slightly different coordinates.
