Lakhtinskiy prayer times overview
The Lakhtinskiy 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 in Lakhtinskiy 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 Lakhtinskiy the coordinates 59.9952°N and 30.1472°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.
Lakhtinskiy prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Lakhtinskiy, the sun rises at 04:52, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:18. 16 часов 26 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Lakhtinskiy begins after Maghrib at 21:18 and lasts until Fajr at 02:51. Its duration is 5 часов 33 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Lakhtinskiy there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Lakhtinskiy differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
When preparing for prayer in Lakhtinskiy, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:51), Maghrib (21:18) and Isha (23:11) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Lakhtinskiy 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 Lakhtinskiy
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 Lakhtinskiy 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:51) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:18): 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.
Because Lakhtinskiy is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
