How prayer times are calculated in Brazil

Times for Brazil use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in the local time of each city (UTC−3; UTC−4; UTC−5). In the capital Brasília, Fajr is about 4:17 AM and Maghrib 6:42 PM around 21 December, whereas around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:21 AM and Maghrib at 5:49 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 11 min to 13 h 04 min.

Our cities in Brazil stretch from Mâncio Lima in the west to Pitimbu in the east, and from Pacaraima in the north to Santa Vitória do Palmar in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Pitimbu about 152 minutes before Mâncio Lima, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Brasília cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Brazil

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Brasília lasts roughly 13 h 57 min at the start of the month and 13 h 29 min at the end, with imsak at 4:39 AM and iftar at 6:47 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or browse the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable you can print and links to nearby cities.
