Q 4:
If a person performs the supererogatory Salah (prayer) done before the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer at home, then he goes to the Masjid (mosque), should he perform Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid (two-unit Prayer to salute the mosque) upon entering it?
What is the evidence for this?
A:
If you perform the supererogatory Salah done before Fajr Prayer at home then come to the Masjid, you are allowed to perform Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid. This is proven by the general meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him):
"When anyone of you enters the Masjid, he should not sit till he observes two Rak`ahs."
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
