Prayer Times in Clermont-Ferrand, France
Clermont-Ferrandprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (45.7797°N, 3.0868°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in France. 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 Clermont-Ferrand'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 Clermont-Ferrand prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Clermont-Ferrand's prayer times are worked out
Clermont-Ferrand sits 4,287 km (2,664 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 117° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and France 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 Clermont-Ferrand. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 18h 24m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 29m in December: a swing of 7h 55m across the year. That spread is set by Clermont-Ferrand's latitude (45.78°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Clermont-Ferrand does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Europe/Paris time zone, the sun peaks about 56 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:55 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Saint-Étienne, Lyon 09, Lyon 07 — close enough that their times differ from Clermont-Ferrand's by only a few minutes.
Who sets prayer times in France
France is a laïque state with no official timetable and no national religious authority, so prayer times are set mosque by mosque. In practice two references dominate: the Grande Mosquée de Paris, which publishes its own timetables, and Musulmans de France (formerly the UOIF), whose widely adopted calendar uses 12° for both Fajr and Isha — noticeably shallower angles than the Muslim World League's, which is why French timetables can differ from those of neighbouring countries. The Forum de l'islam de France, launched by the Interior Ministry in 2022 to replace the CFCM, is a body for dialogue with the state — not an authority that issues prayer times.
The Grande Mosquée de Paris
France's Muslim population is largely of Maghrebi origin and therefore predominantly Maliki, which is why mainstream French timetables use the standard first-shadow Asr; mosques serving Turkish and South Asian communities follow the later Hanafi time instead. The Grande Mosquée de Paris, inaugurated in 1926, was built as France's tribute to the roughly 100,000 Muslim colonial soldiers who died fighting for France in the First World War. During the Second World War its rector, Si Kaddour Benghabrit, is credited with sheltering Jews from the Gestapo. The Grande Mosquée de Lyon followed in 1994 and Strasbourg's in 2012.
