El'brus prayer times overview
For El'brus it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Local time in El'brus is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For El'brus the coordinates 43.2577°N and 42.6444°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in El'brus today is 14 часов 20 минут — from sunrise at 05:05 to Maghrib at 19:25. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In El'brus the period from Maghrib (19:25) to Fajr (03:25) lasts 8 часов. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in El'brus the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in El'brus, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:25), Maghrib (19:25) and Isha (20:58) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The El'brus prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in El'brus
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.
Prayer times in El'brus 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:25) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:25): 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 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 El'brus according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
