Prayer Times in Lusaka Today
Times for Lusaka follow the Muslim World League. 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. Zambia conventionally follows this authority, and it can be changed from the controls on this page if your mosque follows another.
Lusaka sits at 15.4° south, where day length varies by around two hours between December and June. Fajr comes noticeably earlier in summer and Isha noticeably later, so the gap between them narrows in the long months.
Asr in Lusaka 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 15.4067°S, 28.2871°E in the Africa/Lusaka 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.
