## Frequently asked questions

What time is Zawal in Newport today?

Zawal in Newport is the short period just before Dhuhr — roughly 13:11 until Dhuhr begins at 13:17 today (Tuesday, 11th August 2026). It is the moment the sun is at its zenith.

Can you pray during Zawal?

Voluntary (nafl) prayer is disliked at the exact time of the sun's zenith. Once the sun passes the meridian, Dhuhr time begins and prayer resumes. Obligatory prayers being made up are treated differently — ask a scholar for specifics.

Why is Zawal time disliked for prayer?

Several narrations discourage voluntary prayer at the three times the sun is at the horizon (sunrise, sunset) and at its zenith (Zawal), to avoid resemblance to sun worship.
