Hovtamej prayer times overview
The Hovtamej prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Hovtamej is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. 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 Hovtamej the coordinates 40.1825°N and 44.2538°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.
Hovtamej 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.
Today in Hovtamej 14 часов 5 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:06, while the evening prayer begins at 20:11. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Hovtamej 8 часов 23 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:11, while Fajr begins at 04:34. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Hovtamej the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Hovtamej, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:34), Maghrib (20:11) and Isha (21:36) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Hovtamej 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 Hovtamej
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 Hovtamej 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 (04:34) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:11) 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Hovtamej it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
