Frequently asked questions
How does a Ramadan fast in Elgin compare with a June fast?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February with a fast of 11h 37m and end around 8 March at 12h 50m. The June peak is 17h 00m, so even the last Ramadan fast is more than four hours shorter.
Do the Salah times for Elgin already include daylight saving time?
Yes. The timetable shows local clock time for each date. Clocks go forward on 14 March and back on 7 November in 2027, so summer times are one hour later by the clock than winter ones would be.
Is the longest fast in Elgin on the longest day?
Not quite. The solstice is 21 June, and the longest fast, 17h 00m, is on 22 June, one day after. Isha is latest on the solstice itself, at 10:17 PM.
How early does Fajr start in an Elgin summer?
At its earliest, 3:33 AM on 13 June, eight days before the solstice. After that Fajr slowly moves later through the rest of the summer.
