Shikhany prayer times overview
For Shikhany 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.
The Shikhany prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Shikhany geographic location is 52.1161°N, 47.1990°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
Today in Shikhany 15 часов 13 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:20, while the evening prayer begins at 20:33. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Shikhany begins after Maghrib at 20:33 and lasts until Fajr at 03:02. Its duration is 6 часов 29 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Shikhany the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
When preparing for prayer in Shikhany, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:02), Maghrib (20:33) and Isha (22:38) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
Prayer times for Shikhany 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 Shikhany
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 Shikhany 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:02) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:33): 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 Shikhany according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
