SALAAH TIMES
Q.
Outline the beginning and ending times of the five daily Salaah?
A. The time for Fajr begins at Subha Sadiq (Early
dawn) and ends a little while before sunrise. Subha Sadiq is the time
that Sehri ends. Even though the time of Sehri only becomes common at
the time of Ramadaan, it does run throughout the year. According to
todays Salaah times, Fajr in Johannesburg will be from 5:32am until
about 6:50am.
The time for Zuhr starts after Zawaal upto the time that the shadow of an object becomes twice its length. Zawaal is the time when the sun has reached its peak. It is one of the Makrooh (disliked) times for Salaah. It is advisable to refrain from Salaah for about five minutes. The actual term in Arabic for Zawaal is "Istiwa Shams". According to todays Salaah times, Zuhr in Johannesburg will be from about 12:15pm until 3:49pm. At precisely 3:49pm in Johannesburg, the shadow of any object under the sun will be twice its length.
When Zuhr ends, the time for Asr sets in and Asr ends a little before sunset. To delay the Asr Salaah until the colour of the sun has turned pale (yellow) is Makruh (Disliked). According to todays Salaah times, Asr in Johannesburg will be from 3:49pm until about 5:10pm. If one has not performed Asr till about 5:10pm today, he/she can still perform asr however it is disliked and should not be made a habit.
The time for Maghrib sets in a few minutes after Sunset and ends at the time when the redness fades on the horizon. i.e. about 1 hour 20 minutes later. According to todays Salaah times, Maghrib in Johannesburg will be from 5:28pm till 6:47pm.
The time for esha starts after the redness of the horizon disappears (When the time of Maghrib ends) and ends at the time of Subha Sadiq (When the time for Fajr starts).
Q.
What are the Makruh (Disliked) times to perform Salaah?
A. There are three Makruh times. 1)
At the time of Sunrise i.e. about five minutes after Fajr ends. 2)
When the sun is at its peak i.e. about five minutes before the time
of Zuhr starts. 3) At the time of sunset i.e. about
five minutes before the time of Maghrib starts. The time before sunset
(From 5:10pm to 5:24pm in todays example) is also a Makruh time however
if one has not performed his/her Asr Salaah, it could be performed during
this time but it should not be made a habit. On the other hand, Salaah
cannot be performed at all during the three above mentioned times.
Handy Hint: The time from Subha Sadiq till sunrise (time of Fajr) and the time from Sunset till the redness fades on the horizon (time of Maghrib) is both about 1 hour 20 mins.
N.B. These rulings are for the Hanafi Mazhab only.
