Prayer Times in Saint Petersburg — 2024

If you are in Saint Petersburg today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 02:49 (Fajr), 12:59 (Dhuhr), 16:43 (Asr), 20:07 (Maghrib) and 22:51 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/Moscow timezone (UTC+3 · MSK), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Saint Petersburg sits in Saint Petersburg, Russia, at 59.9343°, 30.3351°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The urban area is on the order of 5.4 million people.

At this latitude the northern summer night is short and the winter night is long. Fajr and Isha angles are not always reached in midsummer, so the timetable falls back to a night-portion rule (middle of the night by default). That is why Fajr in Saint Petersburg can look “late” in June and Isha “early” compared with cities closer to the equator. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:51 and Maghrib is 20:07 — a useful check of how compressed or stretched the day currently is.

Calculation for Saint Petersburg starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Muslims in Saint Petersburg use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Saint Petersburg is 165.9° from true north (SSE), about 4,347 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Moscow (633 km), prayer times in Kazan (1193 km), prayer times in Ufa (1631 km), prayer times in Grozny (2119 km), prayer times in Makhachkala (2214 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Saint Petersburg is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
