Chkhorotsqu prayer times overview
For Chkhorotsqu 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.
Local time in Chkhorotsqu is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For Chkhorotsqu the coordinates 42.5195°N and 42.1273°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Chkhorotsqu today is 12 часов 2 минуты — from sunrise at 07:02 to Maghrib at 19:04. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Chkhorotsqu 10 часов 35 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 19:04, while Fajr begins at 05:39. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Chkhorotsqu prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.
When preparing for prayer in Chkhorotsqu, it is convenient to check Fajr (05:39), Maghrib (19:04) and Isha (20:21) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Chkhorotsqu prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Chkhorotsqu
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
Prayer times in Chkhorotsqu 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (05:39) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (19:04) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Chkhorotsqu it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
