These times are computed for North Ipswich from astronomical parameters, and are not a ruling issued by the Centre. A member whose marja holds a precautionary ruling on Fajr follows their own marja.
At the Centre
No Jumu’ah announced for this Friday.
The Centre holds Friday prayer when a khateeb is available and enough people can attend. It is announced here and on the Centre’s Facebook page when it is on.
The Centre does not hold daily congregational prayer. The times shown here are calculated for North Ipswich so you can pray at home or know when the waqt begins.
