Prayer times in China

China has a Muslim community estimated at approximately 1.5 to 2 percent of the population, or roughly 20 to 28 million people across multiple ethnic groups. The two largest communities are the Hui (Chinese-speaking Muslims dispersed nationally with concentrations in Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Yunnan) and the Uyghurs (Turkic-speaking Muslims of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Smaller communities include the Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Salar, Dongxiang, Bonan, Uzbeks, Tajiks, and Tatars. The community is overwhelmingly Sunni of the Hanafi school. The Great Mosque of Xi'an, founded in 742 CE during the Tang dynasty and continuously rebuilt, is one of the oldest functioning mosques in China and architecturally unique for its Chinese pavilion-style design. The Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar, dating to 1442, is the largest mosque in China by congregational capacity. The China Islamic Association is the state-recognized body. The Uyghur community has been the subject of widely documented restrictions on religious practice since 2017 (per UN OHCHR, factual reference). eSalah uses the MWL default; Karachi method is offered for the western regions.
