Performing Tahiyyatul Masjid After The Time Of Fajr Has Set In

· 9 Safar 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Please advise me whether one can read Tahiyyatul Masjid Salaat once Fajr time has set in.

Context to the question: I reach the Masjid and Fajr time has set in. I still need to perform my 2 Rakaats of Fajr Sunnat Salaah. There is sufficient time for the Fardh Salaat to commence.

Answer

One should not perform a separate two Rakaats of Tahiyatul-Masjid once Fajr time has set in, the two Rakaats Sunnat of Fajr will suffice as Tahiyatul-Masjid.
