Prayer Times in Rio de Janeiro — 2027

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Rio de Janeiro — Sunday, 30 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:50, Dhuhr at 11:53, Asr at 15:13, Maghrib at 17:43 and Isha at 18:53. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:05. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/Sao_Paulo timezone (UTC−3), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Rio de Janeiro is listed under Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The engine uses -22.9068 latitude and -43.1729 longitude with IANA zone America/Sao_Paulo. 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 urban area is on the order of 6.7 million people.

Rio de Janeiro is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 06:05 and Maghrib is at 17:43. Dhuhr (11:53) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Rio de Janeiro.

Calculation for Rio de Janeiro 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.

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) 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 Rio de Janeiro is 67.6° from true north (ENE), about 10,248 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 São Paulo (361 km), prayer times in Foz do Iguaçu (1193 km), prayer times in Buenos Aires (1968 km), prayer times in Santiago (2927 km), prayer times in Bogotá (4549 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 Rio de Janeiro is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
