About prayer times in Moscow
Moscow is located at 55.7558° N, 37.6173° E. Times on this page are calculated with the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia (Fajr 16°, Isha 15°) method and the Hanafi Asr method. Times may differ by a few minutes from your local mosque, which may add precautionary minutes. Because Moscow is at a high latitude, the sun may not go 18° below the horizon in summer, so an angle-based high-latitude rule is applied to keep Fajr and Isha realistic.
