Solovetsky prayer times overview
The Solovetsky 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 Solovetsky 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.
Solovetsky geographic location is 65.0253°N, 35.7097°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or 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. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Solovetsky the sun rises at 03:52, while Maghrib begins at 21:33. Daylight lasts 17 часов 41 minute. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
4 часа 38 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:33 and the morning Fajr at 02:11. For Solovetsky this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Solovetsky, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
For Solovetsky the high-latitude adjustment is important: during a very long day or a short night, the usual astronomical calculation may need correction.
If you plan your day around the Solovetsky prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:11 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:33 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:07 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Solovetsky 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 Solovetsky
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.
We update the schedule in Solovetsky 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:11) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:33) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
Because Solovetsky is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
