Salekhard prayer times overview
For Salekhard 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.
Salekhard prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Salekhard geographic location is 66.5300°N, 66.6019°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
The daytime interval in Salekhard today is 18 часов 13 минут — from sunrise at 03:32 to Maghrib at 21:45. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Salekhard begins after Maghrib at 21:45 and lasts until Fajr at 01:59. Its duration is 4 часа 14 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Salekhard, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
Salekhard is located in the high-latitude zone. During such periods, the astronomical calculation of some prayers may become difficult, so the adjustment recommended for northern regions is applied for Fajr and Isha.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Salekhard: Fajr — 01:59, Maghrib — 21:45 and Isha — 23:12. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Salekhard 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 — 01:59: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

Questions about prayer times in Salekhard
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.
Prayer times in Salekhard 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (01:59) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:45) 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 Salekhard 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.
