Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time is shown first for Ottawa?
The Standard Asr, which begins when an object's shadow equals its length plus the noon shadow. The Hanafi Asr begins at twice the length and falls later. You can switch above the timetable, and your local mosque will say which it follows.
Which direction is the Qibla in Ottawa?
57 degrees clockwise from true north, which is north-east leaning a little toward east. The shortest route to Makkah leaves Ontario heading north-east over the Atlantic, not south-east as a flat map suggests.
Why is Fajr latest on 6 November in Ottawa?
The clocks go back on 7 November. Fajr is 6:25 AM on 6 November on summer time; the next morning it moves about an hour earlier on the clock, even though the sun is rising slightly later.
Is the earliest Isha in Ottawa on the shortest day?
No. Isha is earliest at 5:49 PM on 2 December, sixteen days before the shortest fast, on 18 December, which is itself three days before the solstice.
