Prayer Times in Wuhan, China

Prayer times in Wuhan

Today in Wuhan, Fajr is at 5:12 am and the day closes with Isha at 7:07 pm. They are not fixed — the sun moves them a little every day, and the page keeps up on its own.

The calculation behind them

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

How the day runs in Wuhan

Everything begins with Fajr, 5:12 am today. By 6:36 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr 12:06 pm, Asr 4:00 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. Maghrib is prayed at 5:37 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 7:07 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 11 hours and 1 minutes.

How much the times move

Across the year the Wuhan 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.

If you are fasting
