Syktyvkar prayer times overview
For Syktyvkar 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.
Local time in Syktyvkar 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.
Syktyvkar geographic location is 61.6688°N, 50.8364°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Syktyvkar prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
The daytime interval in Syktyvkar today is 16 часов 48 минут — from sunrise at 03:18 to Maghrib at 20:06. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 17 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:06 and the morning Fajr at 01:23. For Syktyvkar 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 Syktyvkar there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Syktyvkar there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Syktyvkar: Fajr — 01:23, Maghrib — 20:06 and Isha — 21:54. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Syktyvkar 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 01:23: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:18: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 11:43: the time of the midday prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Syktyvkar
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 Syktyvkar 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 (01:23) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:06) 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.
The location of Syktyvkar at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
