Yelan' prayer times overview
The Yelan' 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 is applied for Yelan': the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Yelan' coordinates: 50.9488°N and 43.7371°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Yelan' 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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
According to today's schedule for Yelan', the sun rises at 04:38, while the Maghrib time begins at 19:43. 15 часов 5 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yelan' 6 часов 45 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 19:43, while Fajr begins at 02:28. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Yelan' the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Yelan': Fajr — 02:28, Maghrib — 19:43 and Isha — 21:42. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Yelan' 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 Yelan'
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 Yelan' 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 (02:28) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:43): 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 Yelan' 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.
