Sunnah of Fajr Prayer after Iqamah

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.
