The Fajr and Isha angles for Kafr az Zayyāt come from the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The Egyptian method sets Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Kafr az Zayyāt sits west of its Cairo meridian.
