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 Gif-sur-Yvette may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Gif-sur-Yvette — common questions
What time is Fajr in Gif-sur-Yvette today?
Fajr in Gif-sur-Yvette begins at 04:05 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 Gif-sur-Yvette?
From Gif-sur-Yvette, the Qibla is 118.7° 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 Gif-sur-Yvette?
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.
Do prayer times in Gif-sur-Yvette 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 Gif-sur-Yvette, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
How far is Gif-sur-Yvette from Makkah?
Gif-sur-Yvette lies approximately 4501 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
