Balakhta prayer times overview
For Balakhta it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
The Balakhta prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Balakhta geographic location is 55.3843°N, 91.6187°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Balakhta 15 часов 40 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:09, while the evening prayer begins at 20:49. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Balakhta begins after Maghrib at 20:49 and lasts until Fajr at 02:56. Its duration is 6 часов 7 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Balakhta the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Balakhta prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:56 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:49 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:54 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Balakhta, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Balakhta
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Balakhta are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:56) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:49) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Balakhta it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
