How prayer times in Istanbul are calculated
Times are worked out from the Sun's position relative to Istanbul's coordinates: Fajr when the Sun is the method's set angle below the horizon, Dhuhr just after midday, Asr when shadows reach the set length, Maghrib at sunset and Isha after twilight ends or a fixed time after Maghrib.
Mosques in Istanbul may call the adhan a minute or two apart from these times, depending on their location and the local timetable. For your exact spot, open prayer times for your current location.
