Shchuchinsk prayer times overview
For Shchuchinsk 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.
Shchuchinsk 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.
For Shchuchinsk the coordinates 52.9359°N and 70.1890°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.
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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Shchuchinsk today is 15 часов 19 минут — from sunrise at 04:45 to Maghrib at 20:04. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Shchuchinsk begins after Maghrib at 20:04 and lasts until Fajr at 02:26. Its duration is 6 часов 22 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Shchuchinsk the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
If you plan your day around the Shchuchinsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:26 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:04 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:15 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Shchuchinsk, 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.

Questions about prayer times in Shchuchinsk
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
We update the schedule in Shchuchinsk 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 (02:26) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:04) 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 Shchuchinsk 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.
