Yoshkar-Ola prayer times overview
The Yoshkar-Ola 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 Yoshkar-Ola: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Yoshkar-Ola coordinates: 56.6388°N and 47.8908°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local 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.
The daytime interval in Yoshkar-Ola today is 15 часов 50 минут — from sunrise at 03:59 to Maghrib at 19:49. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yoshkar-Ola the period from Maghrib (19:49) to Fajr (01:48) lasts 5 часов 59 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Yoshkar-Ola the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
When preparing for prayer in Yoshkar-Ola, it is convenient to check Fajr (01:48), Maghrib (19:49) and Isha (21:51) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Yoshkar-Ola 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 Yoshkar-Ola
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.
We update the schedule in Yoshkar-Ola daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (01:48) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (19:49) — 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 Yoshkar-Ola 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.
