Middle. Salatul Wusta refers to the middle prayer, which is the
'Asr prayer (the third of the five compulsory daily prayers), for
those whose day begins at dawn. However, some say it refers
to the Fajr prayer. This is because the Muslims follow a lunar
calendar: the first day of a new lunar month is only determined
when the new moon is sighted shortly after sunset. Therefore
the Muslim day begins at Maghreb, and the first prayer of that
new day is Maghreb, which makes the third (middle) prayer
Fajr.
