Hi guys some you of replied to my old thread which I am grateful for but my question seems it still has not been answered fully. So far I have understood you can not pray at 3 times sunrise, midday and sunset. Can anyone tell me what time midday is and is it always the same? Finally can you tell me when sunrise and sunset is according to namaz times like for today ( link for wbesite containing prayer times) iccuk.org
Asalam 'Alaikum wa rahmatullah,
Firstly Turning Islamic this is an Islamic forum and we begin with the salam insha'Allah. I would like also to welcome you to TTI.
Yes there are three times in which offering the prayer is not allowed in Islam:
1) Sunrise
2) Zawwal - the true midday (also called the zenith) where the sun is above the observer and there is no shadow cast.
3) Sunset.
You asked what time the midday is in your question. This time is constantly changing every day as the earth is moving and days become longer and shorter. But as a rough estimation it is the time that is exactly in between sunrise and sunset - ie the middle of the day.
