Lchap prayer times overview
The Lchap page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Lchap prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Lchap the coordinates 40.4557°N and 45.0751°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.
According to today's schedule for Lchap, the sun rises at 06:03, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:08. 14 часов 5 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 22 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:08 and the morning Fajr at 04:30. For Lchap this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Lchap the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Lchap: Fajr — 04:30, Maghrib — 20:08 and Isha — 21:34. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Lchap, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:30: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:03: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:06: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:04: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.

Questions about prayer times in Lchap
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 Lchap 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 (04:30) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:08) 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 Lchap 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.
