Namaz Time in Chennai

Muslims in Chennai pray five times a day: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The exact time of each prayer depends on the position of the sun and the latitude/longitude of Chennai.

This free Chennai namaz time page uses the adhan library to compute today's prayer times for Chennai. You can also pick any other date and choose between major calculation methods such as Muslim World League, Karachi, Umm Al-Qura and others, plus the Shafi or Hanafi madhab.

Important: These are computed times. Always confirm with your local mosque or regional crescent sighting committee.
