What changes under the Hanafi convention

Only Asr moves. Under the standard convention Asr begins when a vertical object’s shadow equals its own length plus the shadow it cast at noon. The Hanafi school waits until the shadow reaches twice the object’s length, so Asr starts later, by around 40 minutes to an hour depending on the season and latitude. Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Maghrib and Isha are identical under both settings.

Keep Hanafi selected for any city

The Asr convention control above is set to Hanafi on this page. Choose any starter city or enter coordinates; the city changes the method preset but leaves the Asr convention as you set it. The settings note under the result confirms Hanafi Asr on every calculation.

Hanafi Asr in a monthly timetable

The calendar link under the calculator carries the Hanafi setting with the city and date, so the whole month, its CSV file and the print layout use the later Asr without any extra step.

Isha is a method setting, not a school setting

Some Hanafi communities also prefer an 18-degree Isha rather than ISNA’s 15 degrees. That is controlled by the calculation method, not the Asr convention: the Karachi and Muslim World League presets both use 18 degrees for Fajr, and Karachi uses 18 degrees for Isha too. The calculation methods page lists every preset’s angles.

Frequently asked questions

What changes under the Hanafi Asr convention?

Only Asr moves. The Hanafi school waits until a shadow reaches twice an object’s length, so Asr starts later than the standard convention, typically by 40 minutes to an hour.

Does choosing Hanafi Asr change the other four prayers?

No. Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Maghrib and Isha are identical under both the standard and Hanafi Asr conventions — only the calculated Asr start differs.

Can I use Hanafi Asr for any city?

Yes. Choose any starter city or enter coordinates; the city changes the calculation-method preset but leaves the Hanafi Asr convention selected on this page.

Does the Hanafi school also use a later Isha?

That is a separate, method-level setting rather than an Asr-school setting. Some communities pair Hanafi Asr with an 18-degree Isha, which the Karachi and Muslim World League presets already use.
