Stop eating by Imsak, ten minutes before Sehri ends, to be safe. Ramadan and the marked days follow the Hijri date above; where the moon is sighted a day later, they move with it.
These times are worked out from the position of the sun for Samch’ŏn (38.3594, 125.3259, time zone Asia/Pyongyang), with the Muslim World League method, the way most mosques in North Korea do. Your mosque may differ by a minute or two, as many round their times or add a few minutes for safety. Imsak is ten minutes before Fajr. The Hijri date follows the Umm al-Qura calendar; the month begins where the moon is sighted, so it can differ by a day.
Questions about Samch’ŏn
What time is Fajr in Samch’ŏn today?
Fajr is at 5:32 am and sunrise at 7:01 am, so the time for Fajr ends then.
When is Maghrib and Iftar in Samch’ŏn today?
Maghrib, and Iftar for those fasting, is at 5:43 pm. Sehri ends at Fajr, 5:32 am.
What time is Isha in Samch’ŏn?
Isha is at 7:07 pm today, and its time lasts until Fajr.
Which calculation method is used?
The Muslim World League method, 18° and 17°, the way most mosques in North Korea work it out, with the standard Asr.
