How these times are calculated
Times are computed on your device from the sun’s position for each area of Kuwait: Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17.5°, Maghrib at sunset and standard Asr, in Kuwait time (UTC+3). They are an estimate and may differ from the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs timetable or your local mosque by a minute or two.
Useful for expats and visitors
Plan around prayer times when visiting mosques such as the Grand Mosque (see places to visit in Kuwait), and note that working hours change in Ramadan: read working hours in Ramadan.

Frequently asked questions
Which method are these Kuwait prayer times based on?
They are calculated for Kuwait using Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17.5°, Maghrib at sunset and standard (Shafi‘i) Asr, in Kuwait time (UTC+3). Kuwait does not use daylight saving time.
Are these the official Awqaf timings?
No. They are an accurate astronomical estimate and can differ from the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs timetable and your local mosque by a minute or two. Use the official timetable or your mosque for religious rulings.
Do prayer times differ between Kuwait City and other areas?
Only slightly. Jahra is about 1 minute later and Ahmadi or Fahaheel about 1 minute earlier than Kuwait City, which is why the page lets you choose an area.
What time is Friday (Jumu‘ah) prayer in Kuwait?
Jumu‘ah is held in the Dhuhr window. The khutbah usually starts shortly before or after the Dhuhr time shown, so check your mosque.
Do shops and offices close for prayer in Kuwait?
Some smaller shops pause briefly at prayer times, and many government offices close early on Fridays. Plan errands outside the main prayer windows.
Why prayer times can vary slightly
Calculation methods, selected location and local mosque timetables can produce small differences. Make sure the selected city is correct and your device location permission is enabled. If you are attending a congregation, follow the mosque's published iqama time, which is not necessarily the same as the displayed prayer start time.
Useful checks
- Recheck the date after midnight and when travelling between areas.
- Confirm the time zone on your device is set automatically or to Kuwait time.
- Use a trusted local authority or mosque timetable when exact local practice matters.
