The calculation method, the Asr question, and how to get Dhaka’s times right — without guessing.
Fajr and Isha are computed at 18° below the horizon — the South Asian standard used across Bangladesh.
Predominantly Hanafi: Asr begins when an object's shadow equals twice its length. Most Dhaka mosques follow this, so Asr here runs roughly 50–60 minutes later than a Shafi’i calculation.
What matters locally is the iqamah (jamaat) gap each mosque sets after the adhan — that gap varies by mosque, so match the adhan schedule to your app and follow your mosque’s iqamah.
