Question

I should be grateful if you could please explain how to calculate

Fajr salaat time from sunrise time and Isha salaat time from sunset time.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh.

The time of Fajr Salaah begins after Subah Saadiq early dawn ( approx 1 hour 15 mins before sunrise ) and ends before sunrise.

The time of Esha Salaah begins after the whiteness on the horizon disappears (about an hour and a half after sunset) and ends before Subah Saadiq (early dawn).

You may make use of our perpetual Salaah timetable which is available on our website.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

When do Fajr and Esha times start and end?

“According to the Mufta-Bihi view that is practiced upon in the Hanafi Madhab, when the Shafi’ee Asr time sets in, the time of Zuhr is still remaining; therefore in principle yes, the Zuhr Salaah will be valid if a Hanafi delays…”
