Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here
At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in Argentan may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Argentan — common questions
What time is Fajr in Argentan today?
Fajr in Argentan begins at 04:13 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 Argentan?
From Argentan, the Qibla is 116.4° 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 Argentan?
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 Argentan?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Argentan'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 Argentan change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 7.9-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Argentan, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
