mincha
This method returns the time of mincha ketana according to the Magen Avraham with the day starting 72 minutes before sunrise and ending 72 minutes after sunset. This is the preferred earliest time to pray mincha according to the opinion of the Rambam and others. For more information on this see the documentation on .getMinchaGedola. This is calculated as 9.5 shaahZmanis72Minutes after alos. The calculation used is 9.5 * shaahZmanis72Minutes after alos.
