Zemo-Machara prayer times overview
The Zemo-Machara 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 Zemo-Machara prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Zemo-Machara the coordinates 43.0107°N and 41.1926°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.
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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Zemo-Machara today is 14 часов 17 минут — from sunrise at 06:12 to Maghrib at 20:29. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 4 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:29 and the morning Fajr at 04:33. For Zemo-Machara this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Zemo-Machara the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Zemo-Machara prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:33 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:29 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:01 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Zemo-Machara 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 Zemo-Machara
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.
We update the schedule in Zemo-Machara 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:33) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:29): 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 Zemo-Machara 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.
