Qatar Calendar House (QCH) said yesterday that the shadow of Kaaba in Makkah will completely disappear at today’s Dhuhr prayer at 12:18pm Makkah time (9:18 UTC), as the Sun will be perpendicular to Kaaba.
Dr. Bashir Marzouq, who is an astronomer at the Qatar Calendar House, said that the shadow of Kaaba during Dhuhr prayer is crucial to determining Qibla anywhere in the world. He added that Qibla anywhere in the world is in the opposite direction to the shadow of Kaaba at Dhuhr prayer.
He said that the phenomenon of the Sun being perpendicular to Kaaba happens in May and July every year.
