# Variable: DHUHR\_OFFSET\_MINUTES
|
|
|
|
> `const` **DHUHR\_OFFSET\_MINUTES**: `2.5` = `2.5`
|
|
|
|
Defined in: [constants.ts:17](https://github.com/acamarata/pray-calc/blob/4227afc2c3993234794b3a1a561c080edc6d4d4e/src/constants.ts#L17)

|
|
Minutes added to solar noon to obtain Dhuhr time.
|
|
|
|
Standard practice adds a small buffer after geometric solar transit to
|
|
ensure the sun has clearly passed the meridian before Dhuhr begins.
|
|
The 2.5-minute convention is widely used across Islamic timekeeping
|
|
authorities and accounts for the sun's angular diameter (~0.5°) plus
|
|
a small safety margin.
