Prayer Times in Halifax, Canada

Halifax's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in Canada and across the United States. They are drawn from Halifax's own coordinates (44.6427°N, 63.5769°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Halifax's prayer times are worked out

From Halifax, the Qibla is 66° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 9,349 km (5,809 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Halifax's own coordinates (44.64°N, 63.58°W), not a national average. That is why Halifax's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Halifax timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Halifax lies well west inside its Halifax time zone. So the sun peaks about 83 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:59 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 29m near June down to 10h 17m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Halifax come from the Islamic Society of North America. The ISNA method sets Fajr when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha at 15°. 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 Dartmouth, Lower Sackville and Moncton. Each is only a few minutes off Halifax's clock.
