Prayer Times in Villa Bisonó, Dominican Republic

Villa Bisonó prayer times explained

Fajr 5:27 am, Maghrib 6:11 pm, Isha 7:41 pm — that is the shape of today in Villa Bisonó. Those times shift by a minute or two most days as the sun moves, and this page recalculates them every morning rather than holding a fixed list.

The night in between

From Isha to Fajr is around 9 hours and 46 minutes at the moment. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

The fasting day in Villa Bisonó

The fasting day here runs 5:27 am to 6:11 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 44 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

The calculation behind them

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Villa Bisonó arrives some 27 minutes after what the clock reads. It explains the 12:27 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

Villa Bisonó today, prayer by prayer

Fajr opens the day at 5:27 am, well before first light. By 6:43 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr follows at 12:27 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 4:35 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 6:11 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:41 pm. Around 11 hours and 28 minutes of daylight, all told.

The direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs east-north-east, a bearing of about 62°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 11,211 km — 6,966 miles — from here. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.

Through the year

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Villa Bisonó brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.
