Prayer Times in Pittsburgh — October 2024

Reading the October 2024 table

If you are in Pittsburgh today (Sunday, 30 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:26 (Fajr), 13:21 (Dhuhr), 17:02 (Asr), 19:56 (Maghrib) and 21:14 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/New_York timezone (UTC−4 · EDT), the Islamic Society of North America convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Pittsburgh: 40.4406, -79.9959. Time zone America/New_York (UTC−4 · EDT) 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 300,000 people.

For the latitude of Pittsburgh, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:45 and Maghrib is 19:56. Dhuhr (13:21) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in United States, and why this page is calculated from Pittsburgh’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Pittsburgh starts from Islamic Society of North America. 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. Many North American Islamic centres follow ISNA (15°/15°). If your masjid prints later Fajr than this page, switch the method to ISNA.

Travellers through Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh is 54.4° from true north (NE), about 10,745 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 Cleveland (185 km), prayer times in Columbus (261 km), prayer times in Buffalo (287 km), prayer times in Washington (305 km), prayer times in Baltimore (316 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 Pittsburgh is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
