The finding of this research is determined that the duration of the tahrim prayer time with the parameters of sky brightness and sun height which ranges from 5-8 minutes before the time of Maghrib prayer. In addition, it can also determine the average limits of sky brightness and sun height data during the time of tahrim prayer. It is important to know the time for tahrim prayer so that you can perform prayers according to the time, because not all prayer time schedules have an explanation regarding the time for tahrim prayer and when the prayer time ends, not all times mark the beginning of prayer time.
