Whether a woman is obligated to offer Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid

Q 2: is it permissible for women to offer Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid (two-unit Prayer to salute the mosque) upon entering the Masjid even for another purpose other than Salah, such as attending a religious lecture? A: It is an act of Sunnah (supererogatory act of worship following the example of the Prophet) for women to offer two Rak`ahs (unit of Prayer) on entering the Masjid before sitting according to the generality of the Hadith in this regard. It is reported from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, 'Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) stated: When anyone among you enters the mosque, he should not sit till he has observed two rak'ahs. (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim). (Part No. 6; Page No. 144
