Prayer Times Spokane, WA Today

How Prayer Times in Spokane Change Through the Year

Prayer times in Spokane are set by the sun, so they move every single day. The biggest daily swing is at dawn. The earliest Fajr of 2026 in Spokane falls on 02 Jun 2026 at 2:51 AM, while the latest Fajr arrives on 31 Oct 2026 at 6:06 AM. That is a difference of 3 hours 15 minutes across the year, which is why a timetable printed in January cannot be reused in June. The swing is wide because Spokane sits at 47.7 degrees north, far enough from the equator for the seasons to move the sun's path a long way.

Sunset moves even further. Maghrib in Spokane is earliest on 05 Dec 2026 at 3:58 PM and latest on 22 Jun 2026 at 8:52 PM, a shift of 4 hours 54 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:51 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 4:00 PM.

For anyone fasting outside Ramadan, such as the Monday and Thursday fasts or the white days each month, the longest fast of 2026 in Spokane runs 18 hours 0 minutes on 18 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 2:51 AM to Maghrib at 8:51 PM. The shortest fast is 9 hours 59 minutes on 21 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 11:33 AM in one part of the year to 1:00 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that is one of the ten longest fasting days in the United States: only 1 places fast longer at midsummer.

Summer nights are short. The latest Isha of the year falls on 22 Jun 2026 at 10:52 PM, and Fajr follows only a few hours later, so the night prayers crowd together in June and July. Many worshippers in Spokane plan sleep around this stretch, and some mosques combine or adjust summer night schedules, so check your local mosque's board in midsummer.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Spokane

Why do the times on this page move a little every day? Because each of the five prayers begins at a set position of the sun. PrayerTimesUSA works out the Spokane schedule with the ISNA method used across most of North America: Fajr and Isha at 15 degrees of sun depression, Asr by the standard shadow rule, with the Hanafi Asr in the method selector above. The Hijri date today in Spokane is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 (03 Nov 2026).

Fajr (5:10 AM today)

Fajr is the dawn prayer, and its time begins at true dawn, the first horizontal light in the east. Today in Spokane that is 5:10 AM. Pray it before sunrise (6:37 AM); after sunrise it counts as qada (missed). Through the year in Spokane, dawn moves between 2:51 AM and 6:06 AM, so the Fajr alarm needs resetting with the seasons.

Dhuhr (11:33 AM today)

Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point and starts to descend. Clock noon and solar noon rarely match, because Spokane sits inside the America/Los_Angeles zone rather than on its meridian, so Dhuhr today is 11:33 AM. On Fridays, Jummah replaces Dhuhr.

Asr (2:05 PM today)

Under the standard rule used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, Asr opens when a shadow stretches to the object's own length beyond the noon shadow. That gives 2:05 PM in Spokane today. Hanafi Asr, at twice the length, lands roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; flip the method selector at the top of the page to see it. The time to pray Asr runs out as the light yellows toward sunset.

Maghrib (4:29 PM today)

At 4:29 PM today in Spokane, the sun sets and Maghrib begins. Its window is the shortest of the day, so it is prayed promptly. On fasting days this same moment is iftar: break the fast first, following the Sunnah, with dates or water.

Isha (5:56 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha starts when the red afterglow fades from the western sky: 5:56 PM tonight in Spokane. The middle of the Islamic night falls halfway between Maghrib and tomorrow's Fajr, and the last third of the night after that midpoint is the Tahajjud time.

Friday Jummah and Mosques in Spokane, Washington

Jummah, the Friday congregational prayer, replaces Dhuhr every week and is the largest regular gathering of Muslims in Spokane. The mosque listed below serves Spokane with its address, including Islamic Center of Spokane at 6411 E 2nd Ave, Spokane, WA 99212. Islamic Center of Spokane publishes a Jummah time of Friday Prayer 12:30 PM. Other mosques set their own khutbah times, so confirm before you travel.

These mosques also run weekend schools, community iftars in Ramadan and the five daily prayers in congregation. If a Spokane mosque is missing here, contact us with its address and Jummah time and we will add it.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Spokane (22.23° North)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Spokane the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 22.23° north from true north. The bearing is calculated from Spokane's coordinates (47.7° N, 117.4° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Along that bearing, the Kaaba is about 7459 miles (12004 km) from Spokane in a straight line over the Earth's curved surface. From Spokane, the great-circle line heads across Canada and the North Atlantic before descending toward Arabia.

To face the qibla at home or at work in Spokane, open the Qibla Compass on your phone, calibrate it with a slow figure-eight motion, and keep it away from metal furniture and electrical equipment that pull the needle. In a mosque, the mihrab already marks the direction.

Daylight Saving Time in Washington: The Two Jump Days

Spokane moves its clocks twice a year, and the prayer timetable jumps with them. Daylight saving begins on 08 Mar 2026: Fajr leaps from 4:54 AM to 5:52 AM in one night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib follows, from 5:44 PM to 6:45 PM. On 01 Nov 2026 the clocks fall back, and Fajr returns from 6:06 AM to 5:07 AM. Mosques in Spokane reset their iqamah boards on the same weekends. This page always follows the America/Los_Angeles time in force, so the times you see are already adjusted.
