Prayer Times in Mollet del Vallès, Spain

Mollet del Vallèsprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (41.5403°N, 2.2131°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Spain. 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 Mollet del Vallès'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 Mollet del Vallès prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Mollet del Vallès's prayer times are worked out

Mollet del Vallès sits 4,161 km (2,586 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 111° from true north — you face east to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Spain 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 Mollet del Vallès. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 17h 22m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 50m in December: a swing of 6h 32m across the year. That spread is set by Mollet del Vallès's latitude (41.54°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Mollet del Vallès does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Europe/Madrid time zone, the sun peaks about 60 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:58 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Cerdanyola del Vallès, Sabadell, Granollers — close enough that their times differ from Mollet del Vallès's by only a few minutes.
