How these times are calculated
- Method
- Moonsighting Committee Worldwide
- Fajr
- 18° with seasonal adjustment
- Isha
- seasonal twilight (shafaq)
- Highlighted Asr
- Hanafi (shadow twice the length)
UK times use the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide method. In summer, cities above 55 degrees north, including Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, follow the one-seventh-of-the-night rule for Fajr and Isha because true twilight never ends there. Dhuhr is shown 5 minutes after solar noon and Maghrib 3 minutes after sunset, following the method's guidance.
Aberdeen is above 55° north, so Fajr and Isha follow the one-seventh-of-the-night rule recommended by the Moonsighting Committee.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Aberdeen use the one-seventh of the night rule?
At 57.1 degrees north the sun stays too close to the horizon on a summer night for the usual twilight angles to be reached. This site applies the one-seventh rule all year, so there is no abrupt change on a particular date. The night, from sunset to sunrise, is split into seven parts.
When do the clocks change in Aberdeen?
Clocks go forward on 28 March and back on 31 October. The timetable is in local time, so every prayer reads an hour later after 28 March and an hour earlier after 31 October. Fajr is latest, 7:04 AM, on 1 January, on GMT.
How much do Fajr and Isha move through the year in Aberdeen?
Fajr runs from 3:20 AM on 13 June to 7:04 AM on 1 January, more than three and a half hours. Isha runs from 5:04 PM on 11 December to 11:01 PM on 24 June, almost six hours.
How different is the winter fast from the summer fast in Aberdeen?
The shortest fast is 8h 28m on 20 December and the longest 18h 51m on 21 June, a difference of more than ten hours. The winter solstice is 22 December, so the shortest fast comes two days before it.
