Prayer Times in Lyon — November 2025

Reading the November 2025 table

If you are in Lyon today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:12 (Fajr), 13:41 (Dhuhr), 17:24 (Asr), 20:22 (Maghrib) and 22:02 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Paris timezone (UTC+2 · CEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Lyon is listed under Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in France. The engine uses 45.7640 latitude and 4.8357 longitude with IANA zone Europe/Paris. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The listed population is about 520,000 people.

For the latitude of Lyon, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 07:00 and Maghrib is 20:22. Dhuhr (13:41) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in France, and why this page is calculated from Lyon’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Lyon starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. 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.

Lyon (France) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Lyon is 118.6° from true north (ESE), about 4,166 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 Marseille (278 km), prayer times in Nice (298 km), prayer times in Toulouse (360 km), prayer times in Strasbourg (382 km), prayer times in Paris (391 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 Lyon is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
