Katyn' prayer times overview
The Katyn' prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Katyn': the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Katyn' geographic location is 54.7746°N, 31.6904°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Katyn' 15 часов 33 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:12, while the evening prayer begins at 20:45. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Katyn' the period from Maghrib (20:45) to Fajr (02:57) lasts 6 часов 12 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Katyn' the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Katyn': Fajr — 02:57, Maghrib — 20:45 and Isha — 22:52. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Katyn' 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 Katyn'
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
The prayer schedule in Katyn' is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:57) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:45) 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.
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 Katyn' 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.
