Prayer Times in Sfax — 2025

Prayer times in Sfax today (Sunday, 30 August 2026): Fajr 04:20, Sunrise 05:48, Dhuhr 12:18, Asr 15:56, Maghrib 18:47, Isha 20:09. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Africa/Tunis timezone (UTC+1 · CET), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Sfax is listed under Sfax in Tunisia. The engine uses 34.7398 latitude and 10.7600 longitude with IANA zone Africa/Tunis. 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 270,000 people.

For the latitude of Sfax, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:48 and Maghrib is 18:47. Dhuhr (12:18) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Tunisia, and why this page is calculated from Sfax’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

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

Sfax (Tunisia) 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 Sfax is 109.9° from true north (ESE), about 3,196 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 Tunis (236 km), prayer times in Tripoli (305 km), prayer times in Constantine (416 km), prayer times in Algiers (730 km), prayer times in Naples (746 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 Sfax is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
