Prayer times in Bamako

The five restricted windows move with the sun over Bamako 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 Bamako (Africa/Bamako) this very minute, and follows your madhhab and what you intend to pray.

How Bamako’s times are calculated

In Mali, prayer times generally follow the Muslim World League convention. Can I Pray Now computes Bamako’s times with that convention on your device, so they match what your community prays by; you can switch to any other method in settings.

The school most widely followed in Mali 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 Bamako, 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 Bamako stands this minute.
