How Banfora's prayer times are worked out

From Banfora, the Qibla is 70° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,895 km (3,041 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Banfora's own coordinates (10.64°N, 4.75°W), not a national average. That is why Banfora's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Banfora timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Banfora lies well west inside its Ouagadougou time zone. So the sun peaks about 27 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:17 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 03m near June down to 12h 46m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Banfora come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Bobo-Dioulasso, Sikasso and Ferkessédougou. Each is only a few minutes off Banfora's clock.
