Kirs prayer times overview
For Kirs 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 Kirs is Same as Moscow time (MSK). 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 Kirs the coordinates 59.3383°N and 52.2440°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
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. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
The daytime interval in Kirs today is 12 часов — from sunrise at 05:22 to Maghrib at 17:22. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Kirs begins after Maghrib at 17:22 and lasts until Fajr at 03:18. Its duration is 9 часов 56 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Kirs the period of bright nights recedes, while the night interval between Maghrib and Fajr gradually lengthens.
The summer light regime in Kirs differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kirs: Fajr — 03:18, Maghrib — 17:22 and Isha — 19:17. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Kirs are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Kirs
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.
We update the schedule in Kirs daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:18) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (17:22) 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.
The location of Kirs at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
