Prayer Times in Kyiv, Ukraine

What these times mean for Kyiv

Between the last prayer of one day and the first of the next, Kyiv gets roughly 10 hours and 45 minutes of darkness. That span is what the last third of the night is measured against, so it shifts along with the rest of the timetable through the year.

Where these times come from

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Fasting hours

Stop eating by 4:52 am; break the fast at 4:37 pm. That is about 11 hours and 45 minutes on today's times. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

The shape of the day

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 4:52 am. You have until 6:45 am, when the sun comes up. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 11:42 am, and Asr at 2:50 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 4:37 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 6:07 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 9 hours and 52 minutes.

Through the year

Kyiv is far enough north that calculated Fajr and Isha times become unreliable around midsummer, when twilight lasts all night. Most communities this far up adopt a local ruling for those weeks; ask at your mosque. Outside that stretch, the ordinary calculation applies.

Qibla from Kyiv

Turn south-south-east, about 162°, for the qibla. Makkah is around 3,329 kilometres (2,068 miles) away in a straight line. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.
