Prayer Times in Pouytenga, Burkina Faso
Prayer times in Pouytenga are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (12.25°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Burkina Faso. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Pouytenga's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Burkina Faso. They are drawn from Pouytenga's own coordinates (12.2516°N, 0.4256°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Pouytenga's prayer times are worked out
From Pouytenga, the Qibla is 71° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,390 km (2,728 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Pouytenga's own coordinates (12.25°N, 0.43°W), not a national average. That is why Pouytenga's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Pouytenga timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 10m around June. It eases to 12h 40m by December. That is a 1h 30m swing, set by the city's latitude of 12.25°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Pouytenga 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. Pouytenga sits west of its Ouagadougou meridian. The sun peaks about 10 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:00 PM. We also publish times for nearby Tenkodogo, Fada N'gourma and Saaba. Each is only a few minutes off Pouytenga's clock.

FAIB and the moon over Ouagadougou
Burkina Faso was 63.8% Muslim at the 2019 census. The Federation of Islamic Associations (FAIB) was founded in 2005 as the umbrella for more than two hundred associations. It announces the start and end of Ramadan once its moon-sighting commission convenes at Ouagadougou's Grand Mosque. Daily times come from mosques; this page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. The clock is GMT year-round, with no daylight saving. Ouagadougou also sits at 1.5°W, so clock time and solar time nearly coincide. Prayer times here land closer to their 'natural' clock positions than almost anywhere else in West Africa.
Bobo-Dioulasso's living mud mosque
The Grande Mosquée of Bobo-Dioulasso was raised in the 1880s under Almamy Sidiki Sanou. It is Burkina Faso's masterpiece of Sudano-Sahelian architecture. Its banco walls are studded with protruding timber beams, which double as scaffolding for the replastering each dry season demands. It remains a working Friday mosque, not a museum. The largest earthen building of its style in the country, it keeps the same five prayers it has for fourteen decades. In the capital, the Grand Mosque of Ouagadougou anchors FAIB's national announcements. Sahel latitude keeps the seasonal swing in day length modest, so Ramadan's length changes only gently with the calendar.
