If you need to compare methods, open a location in Algeria and adjust the settings on the prayer times page. The timetable will update using the selected method while keeping the country-supported options listed here. This makes it easier to check how Fajr, Isha or Asar may differ before printing, downloading or sharing prayer times.
The supported method lists also explain which settings are available for Algeria and which option is treated as the default. Unsupported calculation choices are hidden so that generated timetables remain within the configuration intended for this country.
