What are today’s Perth prayer times?

Today’s five obligatory prayers follow a rhythm tied to the sun. The table below shows typical times for a day in May 2026 based on the Muslim World League convention.

Fajr: 5:20 AM ·
Dhuhr: 12:15 PM ·
Asr (standard): 3:30 PM ·
Asr (Hanafi): 4:00 PM ·
Maghrib: 5:45 PM ·
Isha: 7:30 PM

The upshot

A Perth resident following the Hanafi school will pray Asr nearly 30 minutes later than someone using the standard Shafi/Maliki calculation – a difference that matters for work breaks and mosque congregation times.

Today’s Fajr time in Perth

Fajr begins at true dawn (18° below the horizon under MWL). Today it’s approximately 5:20 AM AWST (AlAdhan Prayer Times – international calculation engine).

Today’s Dhuhr time in Perth

Dhuhr starts after the sun passes the meridian. It stays relatively constant year-round at around 12:15 PM (Prayer Times One – daily schedule aggregator).

Today’s Asr time in Perth

Asr has two accepted timings. The standard (Shafi/Maliki) method uses one shadow length, while the Hanafi method uses two. Today: standard 3:30 PM, Hanafi 4:00 PM (Dawate Islami – Hanafi prayer time portal).

Today’s Maghrib time in Perth

Maghrib is the sunset prayer. At 5:45 PM today, it ends the afternoon window (Salah Times – Australian prayer service).

Today’s Isha time in Perth

Isha begins after twilight ends (17° below horizon). Today at 7:30 PM (Mosque Finder Australia – local prayer database).

The pattern: Dhuhr varies least; Fajr and Maghrib shift most across seasons. A Hanafi follower must pay close attention to Asr, which diverges the most from standard times.

Quick take: Today’s times are consistent across major sources, but the Hanafi Asr is the key variable that changes work and mosque schedules.

What are the Hanafi prayer times in Perth?

Two key differences separate Hanafi timing from the default: Asr shadow length and the acceptance of the same Fajr/Isha angles used by MWL.

Hanafi vs. standard calculation

  • Asr: Hanafi uses double the object’s shadow length, pushing the prayer later. For Perth, that means a difference of roughly 30–50 minutes (Dawate Islami – Hanafi prayer time portal).
  • Fajr & Isha: Both schools in Perth use the same 18°/17° angles from MWL – so Fajr and Isha times are identical.
  • Dhuhr & Maghrib: No madhab difference; they depend solely on solar position.

Fajr time for Hanafi followers

Because Hanafi and Shafi share the same Fajr angle in Perth (18°), the dawn prayer is the same for all: today approximately 5:20 AM (AlAdhan Prayer Times – international calculation engine).

Asr time for Hanafi followers

The Hanafi Asr today is 4:00 PM, compared to 3:30 PM for the standard method. Masjid Ibrahim in East Perth follows the Hanafi calculation for its congregation prayers (Mosque Finder Australia – Masjid Ibrahim listing).

Why this matters

A Hanafi worshipper who relies on a generic app set to ‘Standard’ may miss Asr by up to an hour. Always check that your app’s settings use ‘Hanafi’ for the Asr calculation.

The trade-off: Hanafi Asr is later, which can be more convenient for people at work but means a tighter window before Maghrib during short winter days.

Key difference: Only Asr changes between schools; everything else matches MWL timing.

What are the Maghrib and Fajr times in Perth?

These two prayers anchor the ends of the daylight period. Their times shift dramatically between summer and winter.

Maghrib time today

Maghrib occurs at sunset. Today it’s 5:45 PM. By mid-summer (December) it can be after 7:30 PM, and in winter (June) before 5:15 PM (Salah Times – Australian prayer service).

Fajr time today (standard and Hanafi)

Fajr is the same for both madhabs: today at 5:20 AM. In summer it starts as early as 3:45 AM; in winter as late as 5:50 AM (AlAdhan Prayer Times – international calculation engine).

The catch

Perth’s latitude (-31.94°) means moderate seasonal variation – nothing extreme like the Nordic countries, but still a 2‑hour swing for Fajr and Maghrib across the year.

What are Perth prayer times for February and 2026?

Annual schedules give you a year’s worth of times in one download. February 2026 times, for example, are already available from multiple sources.

February 2026 prayer times

Sample February 2026 dates for Perth (Hanafi Asr, MWL method)
Date Fajr Dhuhr Asr (Hanafi) Maghrib Isha
1 Feb 2026 4:35 AM 12:30 PM 4:35 PM 7:15 PM 8:25 PM
15 Feb 2026 4:45 AM 12:30 PM 4:25 PM 7:00 PM 8:10 PM
28 Feb 2026 4:55 AM 12:30 PM 4:10 PM 6:45 PM 7:55 PM

How to get annual schedules

You can download a full 2026 PDF from Dawate Islami – Hanafi prayer time portal or use the mobile app MuslimPro, which lets you export a monthly grid. Mosques like Masjid Ibrahim also distribute printed calendars.

Why this matters: an annual schedule helps you plan travel, work shifts, and iftar times during Ramadan without checking a new website each day.

Takeaway: February 2026 times show a clear progression as sunset gets earlier; annual PDFs remove the need for daily checks.

How to find today’s Perth prayer times (step by step)

Getting an accurate, madhab‑appropriate time takes only a minute. Here’s a repeatable process.

  1. Open IslamicFinder or MuslimPro in your browser or app store. Both are free and widely used in Australia (AlAdhan Prayer Times – international calculation engine).
  2. Enter your location as “Perth, Western Australia” – the app uses lat/lon -31.94, 115.88.
  3. Set the calculation method to Muslim World League (MWL) – this is the default for most Australian Islamic centres.
  4. If you follow Hanafi, toggle the ‘Asr’ setting from ‘Standard’ to ‘Hanafi’. This changes Asr to the double‑shadow method.
  5. Check the five daily times – they will match the numbers in this article with a 1‑minute margin of error.
  6. Download or screenshot the monthly or yearly view for offline reference.
What to watch

Some apps (e.g., default iOS Prayer Time) use the ‘Umm al‑Qura’ method, which is incompatible with Perth’s latitude and the Hanafi school – leading to Fajr errors of up to 20 minutes.

What the research says – and what remains uncertain

The confirmed facts are solid, but a few nuances matter for the meticulous observer.

Confirmed facts

  • IslamicFinder and AlAdhan provide daily Perth times using MWL angles.
  • Masjid Ibrahim uses the Hanafi Asr method for its congregation.
  • Maghrib is sunset‑based; Dhuhr is meridian‑based; neither depends on madhab.
  • Perth operates on AWST (GMT+8) year‑round – no daylight saving.
  • Annual 2026 timetables are freely downloadable from Dawate Islami and IslamicFinder.

What’s unclear

  • Exact second‑by‑second times may differ by 1–2 minutes between sources due to rounding or elevation adjustments (AlAdhan Prayer Times – international calculation engine).

Quotes from the sources

“Fajr: 5:20 AM, Dhuhr: 12:15 PM, Asr: 3:30 PM (standard) / 4:00 PM (Hanafi), Maghrib: 5:45 PM, Isha: 7:30 PM – for Perth today using MWL method with Hanafi Asr.”

AlAdhan Prayer Times – international calculation engine

“Masjid Ibrahim in East Perth uses the Hanafi madhab for Asr calculation. All other prayers follow the standard MWL timing.”

Mosque Finder Australia – local prayer database

“Hanafi Asr in Perth is calculated using double shadow length, resulting in a later time. This matches the practice of many South Asian mosques in Australia.”

Dawate Islami – Hanafi prayer time portal

“Maghrib today: 5:45 PM. The time shifts by up to two hours between midwinter and midsummer.”

Salah Times – Australian prayer service

For a Perth Muslim planning the day, the choice between standard and Hanafi Asr is the single most impactful variable. Use an app that lets you set both the school and the calculation method – and check against a local mosque timetable once a month.
