Shatin prayer times overview
The Shatin 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 Shatin is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Shatin geographic location is 39.8361°N, 45.3029°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Shatin prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Shatin today is 14 часов 5 минут — from sunrise at 06:02 to Maghrib at 20:07. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Shatin begins after Maghrib at 20:07 and lasts until Fajr at 04:30. Its duration is 8 часов 23 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Shatin the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Shatin: Fajr — 04:30, Maghrib — 20:07 and Isha — 21:32. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Shatin are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Shatin
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.
The prayer schedule in Shatin 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 (04:30) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:07): 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 Shatin according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
