How prayer times are calculated in the Faroe Islands

Pages for Faroe Islands 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 local time (UTC, UTC+1 in summer). In the capital Tórshavn, Fajr is about 2:20 AM and Maghrib 11:21 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 6:47 AM and Maghrib at 2:59 PM. Daylight there ranges from 5 h 09 min to 19 h 45 min.

Our cities in the Faroe Islands stretch from Miðvágur in the west to Klaksvík in the east, and from Fuglafjørður in the north to Tvøroyri in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Klaksvík about 2 minutes before Miðvágur, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Tórshavn is no substitute for that of your own city.
