Kyakhta prayer times overview
For Kyakhta 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 Kyakhta prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Kyakhta coordinates: 50.3496°N and 106.4510°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. 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.
The daytime interval in Kyakhta today is 14 часов 58 минут — from sunrise at 05:31 to Maghrib at 20:29. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
6 часов 56 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:29 and the morning Fajr at 03:25. For Kyakhta this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Kyakhta the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kyakhta: Fajr — 03:25, Maghrib — 20:29 and Isha — 22:24. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Kyakhta 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 03:25: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:31: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:00: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:10: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:29: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:24: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Kyakhta
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.
We update the schedule in Kyakhta 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:25) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:29): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Kyakhta according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
