About prayer times in Rio de Janeiro
These are the five daily prayer (namaz) times for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr at midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset and Isha at night. Each azan (adhan) is called at the start of these times, and the five together are called salah (salat).
Rio de Janeiro's times are calculated from the sun's position for the city's coordinates (-22.9068, -43.1729) each day, in the America/Sao_Paulo timezone, using the Muslim World League method - a global standard used across much of the world. Because the calculation follows the sun, the exact minutes change a little every day. The Asr time shown uses the standard (Shafi) position; communities following the Hanafi school pray Asr later. For the precise start of Fajr and Isha, where twilight is gradual, follow your local Rio de Janeiro mosque.
