Skidel' prayer times overview
The Skidel' prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Skidel' prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Skidel' geographic location is 53.5904°N, 24.2478°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.
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 Skidel' today is 15 часов 20 минут — from sunrise at 05:48 to Maghrib at 21:08. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Skidel' 6 часов 22 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:08, while Fajr begins at 03:30. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Skidel' the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Skidel': Fajr — 03:30, Maghrib — 21:08 and Isha — 23:18. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Skidel' 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.

Questions about prayer times in Skidel'
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.
Prayer times in Skidel' 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 (03:30) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:08): 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 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 Skidel' 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.
