How the times are worked out
Prayer times depend on the position of the sun, so they change a little every day and from one place to the next. The times above are calculated for each area with the Kuwait method. Kuwait’s Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs publishes the official timetable, which mosques follow, so the azan in your area may be a minute or two different from this table.
Kuwait is compact, so the times across the country are within a few minutes of each other. Jahra, to the west of the capital, prays slightly later than Kuwait City and Salmiya.
Asr: two times
Most mosques in Kuwait use the standard Asr time shown first. Followers of the Hanafi school, including many people from South Asia, pray Asr later, when an object’s shadow is twice its length, so the Hanafi time is shown as well.
Friday and Ramadan
Friday prayer (Jumu’ah) replaces Dhuhr on Fridays, with the sermon starting at around the Dhuhr time. In Ramadan, the Fajr time marks the end of suhoor and Maghrib is the time to break the fast.
