How Dédougou's prayer times are worked out

From Dédougou, the Qibla is 72° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,695 km (2,918 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Dédougou's own coordinates (12.46°N, 3.46°W), not a national average. That is why Dédougou's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Dédougou timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Dédougou lies well west inside its Ouagadougou time zone. So the sun peaks about 22 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:12 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 10m near June down to 12h 40m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Dédougou 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 Houndé, Koudougou and Ouahigouya. Each is only a few minutes off Dédougou's clock.
