Samakhvalavichy prayer times overview
The Samakhvalavichy page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Samakhvalavichy 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 Samakhvalavichy the coordinates 53.7396°N and 27.5037°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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 Samakhvalavichy today is 15 часов 21 minute — from sunrise at 05:35 to Maghrib at 20:56. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 20 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:56 and the morning Fajr at 03:16. For Samakhvalavichy 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.

Questions about prayer times in Samakhvalavichy
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.
The prayer schedule in Samakhvalavichy is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:16) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:56): 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 Samakhvalavichy according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
