Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Standard and Hanafi Asr in El Cajon?
Standard Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its height, plus its midday shadow. Hanafi Asr begins when the shadow is twice that, so it falls later in the afternoon. This page highlights the Standard time, and a switch lets you highlight the Hanafi one instead.
When does Isha start earliest in El Cajon?
The earliest Isha is 5:54 PM on 24 November, nearly four weeks before the winter solstice on 21 December. From there it moves gradually later, and by 21 June it has reached 9:22 PM.
How far does Fajr move between summer and winter in El Cajon?
From 4:17 AM on 10 June to 6:00 AM on 5 November, which is less than two hours. Isha moves about three and a half hours over the same year, so the morning prayer is the steadier of the two.
Does Isha in El Cajon ever come after ten o'clock?
No. The latest Isha is 9:22 PM on 21 June, the summer solstice, so the night prayer starts before ten even at midsummer. At the other extreme it is 5:54 PM on 24 November.
