Prayer Guide for Pilgrims
How to keep your five daily prayers on schedule while travelling for Umrah.
Prayer in the Haram
Praying in Masjid al-Haram multiplies reward. Try to reach at least 20 minutes early for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha to secure a spot inside.
Qasr and Jam'
Travellers may shorten (qasr) the four-rak'ah prayers to two and combine (jam') Dhuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha until they settle in the destination city.
Prayer times
Prayer times shift by a few minutes each day. Download a reliable Islamic calendar app before departure.
