Leicester times are calculated for the city’s coordinates (52.637°N, 1.140°W) with the **Muslim World League (MWL) method**: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha at 17°. When summer twilight never gets that dark, Fajr and Isha use a one-seventh-of-the-night limit. Many Leicester mosques publish their own timetable, which can differ — most often for Fajr and Isha, where angles vary. You can switch method and Asr rule in the settings on the table above. **Asr:** today’s Standard (Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanbali) Asr begins at 16:06 and Hanafi Asr at 16:55. The Hanafi rule waits until an object’s shadow is twice its length, so it is always later. **Start times, not congregation times:** the tables show when each prayer window opens. Each mosque sets its own iqamah (jama’ah) and Jummah times, and there is no fixed gap between the two — check your mosque’s timetable. [Our methods and sources](/methodology).
