    This document summarizes the times of the five daily prayers (Salah) in Islam. It discusses the differences of opinion between Islamic scholars on when each prayer time begins and ends based on the position and light of the sun and shadows. For example, the document states that while most scholars say Asr prayer begins when an object's shadow is twice its length, Imam Malik says the time between single and double shadows is flexible. The document also notes the range of views on when Isha and Fajr prayers start based on twilight levels.
