# Asr prayer time in Malaysia

> JAKIM uses the Shafi'i method for Asr — when shadow length equals the object. Hanafi Asr is later. In Malaysia follow your zone's Asr column, not a Middle-East app.

## Which Asr method does JAKIM use?

Malaysia follows Shafi'i: Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its height (plus the noon shadow). The Hanafi method (shadow twice the height) yields a later Asr — common in South Asian or Middle-East apps.

## Is Asr the same in every state?

No. Kelantan differs from Johor on the same day because zones differ. Check your exact zone — one time does not fit all of Malaysia.
