Calculated times, not official announcements
Prayer times on this site are mathematical estimates based on the disclosed coordinates, date, time zone and Umm al-Qura settings. They are not a live observation from every neighborhood and are not an official announcement from a mosque, Saudi authority, the Two Holy Mosques or Umm al-Qura University. Use of those names describes a place or convention and does not imply endorsement.
A calculated minute may differ from a printed calendar, another application or a mosque. Different sources can use different angles, coordinates, elevation models, rounding or safety margins. For attendance, the relevant mosque controls its iqamah and congregational program. For an officially announced holy-place or event schedule, follow the responsible authority’s current notice.
No religious ruling or professional advice
KSA Prayer explains how its software calculates times. It does not issue a fatwa, determine whether an individual act of worship is valid or resolve differences of religious interpretation. General descriptions of Fajr, Asr or fasting boundaries are provided to explain the interface. They are not a substitute for advice from a qualified scholar who understands the person’s circumstances and school of thought.
The website also does not provide legal, medical, financial or emergency advice. A question about illness, travel, safety, employment obligations or a legal deadline may require an appropriate professional or authority. Do not delay urgent assistance because of something read on this site or because a contact-form response has not arrived.
Iqamah, Friday and special programs
The daily card shows prayer-entry times and sunrise. It does not calculate iqamah. Mosques choose iqamah intervals and may change them without notice to this site. Friday prayer can have one or more locally announced congregation times. Ramadan lectures, Taraweeh, Qiyam, iftar arrangements and Eid prayers follow local programs that are outside the astronomical timetable.
Visitors to Makkah, Madinah, AlUla or any other destination should check current local arrangements after arrival. Large events, crowd management, weather and official instructions can affect access and congregation timing. The existence of a city page does not mean the team monitors every mosque, transport service or event in that city.
Technical and availability limits
Although essential values are server-rendered and caching is kept short, a device may display an older tab, use an incorrect clock or lose connectivity. Hosting, DNS, browser software and network providers can fail. The countdown depends on the browser clock. Always confirm the city and date, refresh time-sensitive pages and keep another trusted source when a missed time could have serious consequences.
Links to nearby cities and external resources are provided for convenience. KSA Prayer does not control third-party content, availability, security or later changes. A link is not an endorsement. Downloaded, copied or embedded data can become stale after a correction or calculator update. Downstream users are responsible for refresh logic and for preserving the method and limitation context.
Limitation and correction route
To the extent allowed by applicable law, KSA Prayer is not responsible for indirect loss arising from reliance on a stale page, an unsupported interpretation, a third-party copy or use contrary to these notices. This statement does not exclude liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded. The practical goal is informed use, not avoidance of responsibility for a verified defect in the site itself.
If you believe the service contains an error, use the contact page. Include the full URL, city, date, prayer, displayed value and comparison source. The team will try to reproduce the issue under the published method. Verified errors can be corrected, while expected differences are explained. Submitting a report does not guarantee that a local convention will replace the site-wide disclosed method.
The service these policies describe
KSA Prayer is a focused bilingual utility for calculated prayer times in Saudi cities. Arabic pages are available from the root of the site and corresponding English pages are available under /en/. City pages show today’s timetable, the next calculated prayer, tomorrow’s main values and a full month. They also identify the city coordinates, time zone and calculation convention so a visitor can understand what produced the displayed result.
The service is independent. It is not a Saudi government website, a mosque, a university publication or an official calendar. The words “Umm al-Qura” describe the calculation settings; they do not state sponsorship or approval by Umm al-Qura University. The site is designed to support daily planning while making the difference between a calculated prayer-entry time and a mosque’s iqamah schedule explicit.
How to verify important information
For normal planning, compare the page heading, date, city and time zone before relying on a value. Refresh the page after traveling or returning to an older browser tab. When attendance at a particular congregation matters, verify the iqamah, Friday prayer, Ramadan program or Eid arrangement with that mosque. When an official authority publishes a timetable for a special event or holy place, that notice should be followed for its intended audience.
If two sources differ, record the city, date, prayer, displayed minute, calculation method and coordinates before reporting the issue. A difference can be caused by rounding, a safety offset, elevation, horizon conditions or another accepted convention. Evidence makes a correction request useful. It lets the team distinguish a software or data problem from an expected method difference and apply a change consistently across daily, monthly, Arabic, English and API output.

The About page explains the purpose and ownership stance of the publication. The Methodology page documents the calculation inputs and settings. The Editorial Policy explains review and corrections. The Privacy Policy covers data handling, while the Terms and Disclaimer explain permitted use and service limits. These pages are linked together and from the footer so a reader does not need to search for the rules that govern the service.
Policy text is reviewed when the site’s features, data practices or calculation logic materially change. A date is displayed on each trust page to show the current editorial review point. Dates are not changed merely to make a page look fresh. Where a policy update materially affects how visitors use the service or how contact data is handled, the new text applies from its stated effective date and earlier messages remain subject to the commitments made when they were submitted.
