The prayer times shown are calculated according to Moroccan Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs: Fajr is determined when the sun is 19.1° below the horizon, Isha at 17° below the horizon, and Asr is calculated using the standard rule (when an object's shadow equals its height plus noon shadow). Local mosques may introduce slight precautionary adjustments of a few minutes, so small discrepancies with your local timetable are normal.
