Prayer times in Algiers
The five restricted windows move with the sun over Algiers every day: the strict sunrise, zenith, and sunset times in which prayer is withheld, and the extended after-Fajr and after-Asr windows in which voluntary prayer waits. A fixed timetable cannot answer “right now” - the live answer above is computed astronomically for Algiers (Africa/Algiers) this very minute, and follows your madhhab and what you intend to pray.
How Algiers’s times are calculated
In Algeria, published prayer timetables generally follow Ministry of Religious Affairs and Awqaf, using the Muslim World League convention. Can I Pray Now computes Algiers’s times with that same convention on your device - or serves the authority’s own published table where we have extracted it - so the list matches what your local mosque prays by. You can change the method in settings.
Algeria's Ministry of Religious Affairs publishes an annual table very close to the Muslim World League angles, so Can I Pray Now computes with that same convention.
The school most widely followed in Algeria is Mālikī, which sets the Asr time and shapes some of the restricted-time rulings. The app defaults to the evidence-based ruling for everyone; you can select a school in settings. For the twilight angles behind these times, see how prayer times work and the methods compared.
The tool also lays out today’s five daily prayer times for Algiers, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, on the timeline and the prayer list. The open stretches between them are when salah may be offered, and the restricted windows are when it may not; the live answer shows where Algiers stands this minute.
