Prayer Times in Huinca Renancó, Argentina

Huinca Renancó prayer times explained

Huinca Renancó is a long way from Makkah — about 12,603 kilometres (7,831 miles) in a straight line. At that range the great-circle route matters: the qibla from here runs east, about 79°, which surprises people expecting otherwise.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Huinca Renancó arrives some 61 minutes after what the clock reads. That is why Dhuhr sits at 1:01 pm rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

What changes between summer and winter

Across the year the Huinca Renancó timetable shifts by an hour or two at each end — long summer evenings push Isha back, short winter days crowd Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib together.

The shape of the day

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 4:44 am. Sunrise at 6:18 am closes that window. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 1:01 pm, and Asr at 5:47 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 7:44 pm; Isha is the last, at 9:14 pm. That is some 13 hours and 26 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

The calculation behind them

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Fasting hours

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:44 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 7:44 pm. Around 15 hours without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

The night in between

From Isha to Fajr is around 7 hours and 30 minutes at the moment. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.
