Verkhnyaya Khava prayer times overview
The Verkhnyaya Khava 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 is applied for Verkhnyaya Khava: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Verkhnyaya Khava coordinates: 51.8424°N and 39.9385°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local 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 Verkhnyaya Khava today is 15 часов 11 минут — from sunrise at 04:50 to Maghrib at 20:01. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Verkhnyaya Khava the period from Maghrib (20:01) to Fajr (02:34) lasts 6 часов 33 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Verkhnyaya Khava the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Verkhnyaya Khava, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:34), Maghrib (20:01) and Isha (22:05) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Verkhnyaya Khava 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 Verkhnyaya Khava
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 Verkhnyaya Khava 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:34) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:01) 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 Verkhnyaya Khava 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.
