The year 2026 in Katsina
Time of the five prayers on every day of the year (method: Muslim World League).
- Fajr

At 13° latitude, Katsina is close to the equator, so prayer times barely move. In 2026, Maghrib stays between 18:00 (November 15) and 19:01 (July 3), a spread of only 1 h 01 min over the whole year, and Fajr between 04:44 and 05:43.
Katsina does not change its clocks in 2026: prayer times drift from day to day without any jump.
In Katsina, daylight lasts 12 h 54 min on June 19, the longest day, and 11 h 22 min on December 13, the shortest.
What latitude changes in Katsina
At 13° latitude, the Sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon every night of the year: Fajr and Isha at 18° exist all year round in Katsina.
When the angle is not reached, the “Muslim World League” method uses the middle of the night: in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on no day.
No national convention was found for Nigeria: times follow the most widely used method, Muslim World League (Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17°).
