Aïn Chair (عين الشعير) is a small rural commune of the high plateaus of the Oriental, in the province of Figuig, near Bouârfa. Located in a semi-desert steppe zone at mid-altitude, it has an arid continental climate: cold winters, very hot summers. A pastoral locality away from the main routes, Aïn Chair lives from livestock and the agriculture of the water points. Its prayer times follow the calculation of the Ministry of Habous.
Aïn Chair ('the spring of barley') is a commune of the eastern high plateaus, organised around its water points and grazing ranges. Life there is set by pastoralism and the few oases. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Aïn Chair sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition of the Oriental. The village mosque is the heart of community life, gathering residents for the five prayers and the Friday prayer. Ramadan keeps a strong family and solidarity dimension, typical of the high plateaus.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Aïn Chair follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The latitude (~32.5° N), the plateau altitude and the eastern position give Aïn Chair prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed late at night and Maghrib in the late afternoon; in summer, Fajr is early and Isha moderately late. Located in the far east, the locality has early sunrises and sunsets. The switch to standard time during Ramadan shifts all the times by about an hour. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
