Prayer Times in Būkān Today
Times for Būkān follow the Tehran University. Calculation authorities differ on how far below the horizon the sun must sit for Fajr to begin and Isha to end, which is the main reason published times vary between sources. Iran conventionally follows this authority, and it can be changed from the controls on this page if your mosque follows another.
At 36.5° north, Būkān has a pronounced seasonal swing — daylight can differ by four hours or more between June and December. In the long summer, Fajr and Isha crowd together at either end of a short night.
Asr in Būkān is shown by the standard reckoning used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, which marks its start when an object's shadow equals its own length. The Hanafi school uses twice that length, falling roughly an hour later depending on the season. Both are long-established positions; the juristic school can be switched on this page.
These times are computed for 36.5210°N, 46.2089°E in the Asia/Tehran timezone. Because the calculation is tied to coordinates rather than to a city boundary, mosques a few kilometres away may publish times a minute or two apart, and many add a small precautionary margin of their own.
