Prayer Times in Währing, Austria
Währingprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (48.2261°N, 16.3448°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Austria. 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 Währing'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 Währing prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Währing's prayer times are worked out
Währing sits 3,640 km (2,262 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 137° from true north — you face southeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Austria 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 Währing. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 17h 13m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 15m in December: a swing of 6h 58m across the year. That spread is set by Währing's latitude (48.23°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
Währing sits close to the meridian of its Europe/Vienna time zone, so the sun peaks within 3 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 1:02 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Hernals, Döbling, Vienna — close enough that their times differ from Währing's by only a few minutes.
Two Asr times are in use in Austria
Austria's Muslim communities — Turkish- and Bosniak-rooted — are almost uniformly Hanafi, so this page shows the later Hanafi Asr alongside the standard time. The time shown above for Währing is the standard reckoning — 5:12 PM. The Hanafi time today is 6:23 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Recognised since 1912, unified since 2023
Austria recognised Islam by law in 1912 — the Islamgesetz, passed after the annexation of Bosnia, explicitly recognised the Hanafi rite — making it one of the first Western states to do so; the IGGÖ (Islamic Religious Community in Austria) has carried that public-law status since 1979. In January 2023 the IGGÖ went further and introduced a unified national prayer calendar, developed with theologians and astronomers to end discrepancies of up to an hour between competing tables. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's coordinates; expect small differences from the IGGÖ calendar. Austria's Muslims number about 745,000 — 8.3% of the population (Statistik Austria, 2021) — and clocks follow the EU's seasonal changes.
Vienna's Islamic Centre and the Hanafi heritage
The Vienna Islamic Centre in Floridsdorf, financed at King Faisal's pledge and inaugurated in 1979 by Austria's federal president, remains the country's largest mosque, its 32-metre minaret a fixture of the Danube skyline. Austria's communities are the most uniformly Hanafi in Western Europe — Turkish-rooted congregations (organised largely through ATIB, whose imams come via Turkey's Diyanet) and Bosniak ones share the same school — so the later, second-shadow Asr is the live convention here, and this page shows it alongside the standard time. Summer at 48°N brings seventeen-hour fasts and Isha near eleven; midwinter Maghrib falls around four in the afternoon.
