What are the times for the five daily prayers?

Salah times are tied to the sun's position (Quran 17:78, Sahih Muslim 612).

1. Fajr: Begins at true dawn (subh sadiq — the spreading horizontal whiteness on the horizon). Ends at sunrise. Best prayed early.

2. Dhuhr: Begins when the sun passes its zenith (midday). Ends when the shadow of an object equals its own length (Hanafi: when shadow equals twice the object's length is the end of Dhuhr).

3. Asr: Begins where Dhuhr ends. Ends at sunset. Best prayed before the sun yellows.

4. Maghrib: Begins immediately after sunset. Ends when the red twilight disappears from the western horizon (~1 hour 15 min after sunset, varying by location).

5. Isha: Begins after the red twilight disappears. Ends at Islamic midnight (halfway between Maghrib and Fajr) for the preferred time. Permissible until Fajr in case of necessity.

Prohibited prayer times (no voluntary prayers): - From sunrise until the sun fully rises (~15 min) - When the sun is at zenith (~5 min before Dhuhr) - From Asr until sunset (the sun is yellowing/setting)

Obligatory prayers can be made up if missed; voluntary prayers should not be initiated during prohibited times.
