Prayer Times in Skopje Today

About prayer times in Skopje

If you are in Skopje today (Monday, 19 October 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 05:18 (Fajr), 12:19 (Dhuhr), 15:19 (Asr), 17:48 (Maghrib) and 19:14 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Skopje timezone (UTC+2 · CEST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Skopje is listed under Skopje in North Macedonia. The engine uses 41.9981 latitude and 21.4254 longitude with IANA zone Europe/Skopje. 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 530,000 people.

For the latitude of Skopje, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In October 2026 sunrise is 06:51 and Maghrib is 17:48. Dhuhr (12:19) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in North Macedonia, and why this page is calculated from Skopje’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Skopje 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.

Skopje (North Macedonia) 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 Skopje is 137.4° from true north (SE), about 2,861 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 Tetovo (38 km), prayer times in Prizren (61 km), prayer times in Pristina (77 km), prayer times in Tirana (153 km), prayer times in Sofia (174 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 Skopje is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
