Yelanskiy prayer times overview
The Yelanskiy prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Yelanskiy prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Yelanskiy the coordinates 56.8419°N and 62.5014°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Yelanskiy the sun rises at 04:59, while Maghrib begins at 20:52. Daylight lasts 15 часов 53 минуты. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 57 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:52 and the morning Fajr at 02:49. For Yelanskiy this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Yelanskiy 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 Yelanskiy prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:49 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:52 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:54 the start of the night prayer.
The Yelanskiy 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 Yelanskiy
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.
The prayer schedule in Yelanskiy is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:49) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:52) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Yelanskiy 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.
