Prayer Times in Madrid, Spain
Prayer times in Madrid are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (40.42°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Spain. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Madrid's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Spain. They are drawn from Madrid's own coordinates (40.4165°N, 3.7026°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Madrid's prayer times are worked out
From Madrid, the Qibla is 104° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,598 km (2,857 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Madrid's own coordinates (40.42°N, 3.70°W), not a national average. That is why Madrid's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Madrid timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Madrid lies well west inside its Madrid time zone. So the sun peaks about 83 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 2:20 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 09m near June down to 10h 55m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Madrid 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 Madrid Centro, Retiro and Arganzuela. Each is only a few minutes off Madrid's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Spain
Spain has no single official prayer timetable. The Comisión Islámica de España publishes the calendar of religious festivities. It is the state's legal interlocutor for Muslim affairs under the 1992 Cooperation Agreement (Law 26/1992). Daily times are set mosque by mosque. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Spain's Muslim community numbers about 2.4 million (UCIDE study, end of 2023), its largest group Moroccan. Maliki practice therefore dominates. The standard first-shadow Asr shown here matches what most Spanish mosques announce. Clocks shift with the EU: forward the last Sunday of March, back the last Sunday of October, moving Maghrib by an hour each time.
From the M-30 Mosque to al-Andalus
Madrid's Islamic Cultural Centre — the "M-30 Mosque", inaugurated in 1992 — is the largest mosque complex in Spain. Granada's Mezquita Mayor opened in 2003 on the Albaicín's Plaza San Nicolás, facing the Alhambra. It was the first mosque built in that city since 1492. The deeper history is everywhere. Córdoba's Mezquita, begun in 785-786 under Abd al-Rahman I, remains one of Islamic architecture's supreme monuments. It has been a Catholic cathedral since 1236, so visiting Muslims pray at the city's local mosques rather than inside it. Eight centuries of al-Andalus left Spain with an Islamic architectural heritage unmatched in Western Europe.
