Fajr Prayer in San Francisco — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers refreshed daily based on today's actual Fajr time, sunrise, sunset, and Hijri date in San Francisco.

What time is Fajr today in San Francisco?
Fajr in San Francisco, United States begins today (Wednesday, October 07, 2026) at 05:40 local time (America/Los_Angeles). This is the start of the dawn prayer window, which closes at sunrise.
When does the Fajr window end in San Francisco?
The Fajr window closes the moment the upper edge of the sun crosses the horizon at sunrise. Praying Fajr after sunrise means it is missed and must be made up as qada (make-up prayer) as soon as you remember. Tomorrow Fajr begins at 05:41.
