Christchurch is at 43.53° south, 172.64° east, and uses the Pacific/Auckland timezone, so every time on this page is local Christchurch time, including any daylight-saving change. By default it follows the Muslim World League method, the convention most used in New Zealand. Daylight ranges from 8h 56m around 20 June to 15h 26m around 18 December, which is why prayer times here move by 2h 59m for Fajr across the year.

Ramadan 1448 is predicted to begin around 8 February (subject to moon sighting). In Christchurch a fast, from Fajr to Maghrib, is predicted to last between 14h 27m and 16h 02m during the month. Unsure which method your mosque uses? Our calculation methods guide compares all twelve.
