Questions about prayer times in Novopolotsk
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 Novopolotsk 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:08) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:01) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Novopolotsk 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.
