Prayer Times in Bukhara Today

About prayer times in Bukhara

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Bukhara — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:34, Dhuhr at 12:43, Asr at 17:22, Maghrib at 19:16 and Isha at 20:45. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:09. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Samarkand timezone (UTC+5), the Muslim World League convention and Hanafi (double-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Bukhara: 39.7681, 64.4556. Time zone Asia/Samarkand (UTC+5) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The listed population is about 280,000 people.

For the latitude of Bukhara, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:09 and Maghrib is 19:16. Dhuhr (12:43) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Uzbekistan, and why this page is calculated from Bukhara’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Bukhara starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown in the Hanafi manner (shadow factor 2), which is the usual printed convention in much of South and Central Asia. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Travellers through Bukhara 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 Bukhara is 236.1° from true north (SW), about 3,098 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 Samarkand (216 km), prayer times in Tashkent (439 km), prayer times in Namangan (626 km), prayer times in Andijan (678 km), prayer times in Dushanbe (397 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 Bukhara is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
