Kemenag (Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs) Asr: Shafi'i

Calculation method

Fajr 20°, Isha 18° — the official Indonesian national convention.

Asr (madhab)

Overwhelmingly Shafi’i: Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its own length.

Local context

Jakarta sits close to the equator, so the seasonal swing in prayer times across the year is small.

Setting it up

  1. Open your prayer-time app and pick Jakarta (or let it use your GPS).
  2. Set the calculation method to Kemenag (Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs).
  3. Choose the Asr convention your mosque uses — here, typically Shafi'i.
  4. Compare one day’s Fajr and Maghrib against your mosque’s adhan; if they’re within a minute or two, you’re set.
