Yelkino prayer times overview
The Yelkino prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Yelkino prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Yelkino geographic location is 58.6922°N, 59.8320°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.
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.
According to today's schedule for Yelkino, the sun rises at 05:00, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:12. 16 часов 12 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yelkino the period from Maghrib (21:12) to Fajr (02:55) lasts 5 часов 43 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Yelkino 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 Yelkino prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:55 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:12 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:09 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Yelkino are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Yelkino
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 Yelkino 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:55) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:12) — 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.
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 Yelkino 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.
