Prayer Times in Buenos Aires — 2027

Prayer times in Buenos Aires today (Sunday, 30 August 2026): Fajr 05:51, Sunrise 07:15, Dhuhr 12:54, Asr 16:06, Maghrib 18:35, Isha 19:53. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires timezone (UTC−3), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Buenos Aires: -34.6037, -58.3816. Time zone America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires (UTC−3) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 3.1 million people.

For the latitude of Buenos Aires, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 07:15 and Maghrib is 18:35. Dhuhr (12:54) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Argentina, and why this page is calculated from Buenos Aires’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Buenos Aires page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Travellers through Buenos Aires should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Buenos Aires is 76.3° from true north (ENE), about 12,061 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Foz do Iguaçu (1074 km), prayer times in Santiago (1139 km), prayer times in São Paulo (1675 km), prayer times in Rio de Janeiro (1968 km), prayer times in Bogotá (4671 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Buenos Aires is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
