Frequently asked questions
Is Standard or Hanafi Asr highlighted for Paterson?
Standard Asr, which comes earlier. Hanafi Asr comes later. You can use the switch on the page to highlight the later time instead, and it will stay set as you browse other cities.
When does Isha start earliest in Paterson?
At 5:50 PM on 2 December, 19 days before the winter solstice. It does not fall on the shortest day because the evening prayer reaches its earliest point weeks before midwinter.
Is Isha latest on the solstice in Paterson?
Yes, at 10:13 PM on 21 June. The longest fast, 16h 48m, falls two days earlier, on 19 June, so the two summer peaks are not on the same date.
When is the shortest fast in Paterson?
On 18 December, at 10h 36m, three days before the winter solstice. The summer maximum is 16h 48m, so the year's fast changes by more than six hours.
