Prayer times in La Chaux-de-Fonds — common questions

What time is Fajr in La Chaux-de-Fonds today?

Fajr in La Chaux-de-Fonds 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 La Chaux-de-Fonds?

From La Chaux-de-Fonds, the Qibla is 122.5° 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 La Chaux-de-Fonds?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Switzerland. 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 La Chaux-de-Fonds?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from La Chaux-de-Fonds'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 La Chaux-de-Fonds change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 7.4-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in La Chaux-de-Fonds, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
