Chara prayer times overview
The Chara prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Chara prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Chara geographic location is 56.9033°N, 118.2590°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
According to today's schedule for Chara, the sun rises at 05:18, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:07. 15 часов 49 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:07 and the morning Fajr at 03:07. For Chara this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Chara the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Chara prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:07 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:07 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:10 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Chara, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Chara
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Chara are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:07) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:07) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Chara according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
