Vikhorevka prayer times overview
For Vikhorevka 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 Vikhorevka is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For Vikhorevka the coordinates 56.1213°N and 101.1777°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Vikhorevka 15 часов 42 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:30, while the evening prayer begins at 21:12. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Vikhorevka 6 часов 5 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:12, while Fajr begins at 03:17. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Vikhorevka the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Vikhorevka: Fajr — 03:17, Maghrib — 21:12 and Isha — 23:16. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Vikhorevka 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 Vikhorevka
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.
The prayer schedule in Vikhorevka is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:17) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:12) 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 Vikhorevka 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.
