How to Add Prayer Times to Outlook Calendar

To add prayer times to Outlook, connect SalahTime to your Microsoft account. It creates calendar events for your five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha — based on your location and madhab, and keeps them updated automatically. Here's how.

Add prayer times to Outlook in 4 steps

  1. Sign in with Microsoft. Click Get Started and grant SalahTime access to your Outlook calendar.
  2. Set your location and madhab. This determines accurate prayer times and the calculation method used.
  3. SalahTime adds your prayers automatically. Your five daily prayers appear as events in Outlook — on the web, desktop, mobile and in Microsoft Teams — and refresh each day on their own.
  4. Fine-tune if you like. Adjust durations or which calendar the events land in from your settings.

Why use SalahTime instead of importing an ICS file?

A downloaded ICS file is a snapshot — prayer times drift within days and you'd have to re-import it constantly. SalahTime connects once and then keeps Outlook accurate for you automatically. For Muslim professionals, that means your prayers are protected on the same calendar where meetings get booked — the one your colleagues see in Outlook and Teams — so the two never collide and you pray on time, every time.

Frequently asked questions

Is adding prayer times to Outlook free?

Yes. SalahTime's free tier adds your five daily prayers to your Outlook calendar. An optional Pro plan unlocks advanced scheduling controls.

Will the prayer times stay up to date?

Yes. Prayer times change slightly each day, and SalahTime updates the events in your Outlook calendar automatically. You connect once — there's nothing to re-import.

Does it work in Outlook on my phone and in Microsoft Teams?

Yes. The events live in your Outlook calendar, so they appear everywhere that calendar does — Outlook on the web, the desktop app, the Outlook mobile app, and your calendar in Microsoft Teams.

Can my colleagues see the prayer blocks?

Prayer events are added to your own calendar. If you mark them as busy, coworkers scheduling with you will see the time is taken — without needing to know why — so meetings don't land on a prayer.

Which calculation method and madhab can I use?

You choose your madhab and the calculation method during setup, so the times match how your community prays. SalahTime then uses your location to calculate accurate times.

I already use SalahTime with Google Calendar — can I use Outlook too?

Yes. Outlook support works through your Microsoft account, so sign in with Microsoft to connect your Outlook calendar. Your Google Calendar connection is separate and keeps working as-is.

Can I remove the prayer times later?

Yes. You can disconnect SalahTime or remove the calendar at any time from your settings.
