Prayer times in Chartres — common questions
What time is Fajr in Chartres today?
Fajr in Chartres begins at 04:10 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.
Which direction is the Qibla from Chartres?
From Chartres, the Qibla is 117.8° from true north — roughly ESE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for Chartres?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across France. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of Chartres?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Chartres's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
Do prayer times in Chartres change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 7.8-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Chartres, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
