Manchester Prayer Times Today

Fajr prayer in Manchester begins at true dawn — the first light on the horizon before sunrise. Using the Muslim World League method (Fajr 18° below the horizon), Fajr in Manchester ranges from around 2:30–3:00 AM in midsummer to around 6:30–7:00 AM in midwinter. Today's exact Fajr time is shown in the prayer times table above.

Dhuhr prayer in Manchester begins just after the sun crosses its zenith (solar noon). Times range from approximately 12:55 PM in winter to 1:15 PM in summer (BST). Today's exact Dhuhr time is shown in the prayer times table above.

Asr (afternoon prayer) in Manchester varies from around 1:45 PM in midwinter to 6:45 PM in midsummer. The standard (Shafi'i/Maliki/Hanbali) method begins Asr when an object's shadow equals its length; the Hanafi method waits until the shadow is twice the object's length — making Asr roughly 30–60 minutes later. You can switch between both methods using the settings on the prayer times table above.

Maghrib prayer in Manchester begins immediately at sunset. The time varies greatly by season — from around 3:30–4:00 PM in December to 9:15–9:30 PM in June. Today's exact Maghrib time is shown in the table above.

Isha (night prayer) in Manchester begins when the red twilight fully disappears after sunset. Using the MWL method (Isha 17° below the horizon), times range from around 6:30–7:30 PM in winter to past midnight in the height of summer.

We use the Muslim World League (MWL) method — Fajr at 18° and Isha at 17° below the horizon. This is the standard method endorsed by major UK Islamic organisations including the Muslim Council of Britain. You can switch to ISNA, Egyptian, or Hanafi Asr using the settings on the prayer times table above.

Jummah (Friday congregational prayer) in Manchester is typically held just after Dhuhr, usually between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM. Larger mosques often hold multiple Jummah sessions to accommodate bigger congregations. Check individual mosque pages for the exact Jummah time at your local mosque.

The times shown on this page are astronomical prayer start times — the moment each prayer window opens. Your local mosque in Manchester will set its own iqamah (congregational prayer) times, which are typically 15–30 minutes after the start time. Always check directly with your mosque for their iqamah schedule.
