Astrakhan prayer times overview
The Astrakhan page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Astrakhan prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Astrakhan geographic location is 46.3497°N, 48.0408°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Astrakhan prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Astrakhan today is 12 часов 2 минуты — from sunrise at 06:38 to Maghrib at 18:40. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Astrakhan begins after Maghrib at 18:40 and lasts until Fajr at 05:09. Its duration is 10 часов 29 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Astrakhan prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Astrakhan: Fajr — 05:09, Maghrib — 18:40 and Isha — 20:03. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Astrakhan are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Astrakhan
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
We update the schedule in Astrakhan daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (05:09) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (18:40): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
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 Astrakhan 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.
