Prayer Times in Paris — 2023

Accurate prayer times for Paris on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 05:09, Shuruq 07:06, Dhuhr 13:51, Asr 17:35, Maghrib 20:36, Isha 22:24. 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.

Coordinates for Paris: 48.8566, 2.3522. Time zone Europe/Paris (UTC+2 · CEST) 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 2.2 million people.

For the latitude of Paris, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 07:06 and Maghrib is 20:36. Dhuhr (13:51) 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 Paris’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Paris 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.

Prayer times in Paris are computed for the city proper. The Grande Mosquée de Paris and many suburban mosques in Seine-Saint-Denis may round Maghrib or apply a UOIF (12°) convention — switch to custom angles if that is what your mosque uses.

Qibla from Paris is 119.2° from true north (ESE), about 4,496 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 Lille (204 km), prayer times in Lyon (391 km), prayer times in Strasbourg (397 km), prayer times in Toulouse (588 km), prayer times in Marseille (660 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 Paris is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
