Bayt Lāhyā Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Bayt Lāhyā, Palestine

Bayt Lāhyāprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (31.5464°N, 34.4951°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Palestine. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Bayt Lāhyā's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Bayt Lāhyā prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Bayt Lāhyā's prayer times are worked out

Bayt Lāhyā sits 1,244 km (773 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 154° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Palestine follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Bayt Lāhyā. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 52m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 33m in December: a swing of 4h 19m across the year. That spread is set by Bayt Lāhyā's latitude (31.55°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Bayt Lāhyā does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well east within its Asia/Gaza time zone, the sun peaks about 9 minutes before clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:49 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Jabālyā, Gaza, Dayr al Balaḩ — close enough that their times differ from Bayt Lāhyā's by only a few minutes.
