Fajr Prayer in Sofia — Frequently Asked Questions

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

What time is Fajr today in Sofia?
Fajr in Sofia, Bulgaria begins today (Friday, August 21, 2026) at 04:50 local time (Europe/Sofia). This is the start of the dawn prayer window, which closes at sunrise.
When does the Fajr window end in Sofia?
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 04:52.
Is it permissible to combine Fajr with another prayer?
