Prayer Times in Northampton Today
Times for Northampton 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. United Kingdom conventionally follows this authority, and it can be changed from the controls on this page if your mosque follows another.
Northampton lies at 52.3° north, high enough that in mid-summer the sun may never fall far enough below the horizon for an angle-based Isha to be computed. Where that happens the times here use the angle-based adjustment, one of the recognised approaches for high latitudes.
Asr in Northampton 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 52.2500°N, 0.8833°W in the Europe/London 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.
