The Ruling on Praying the Greeting of the Mosque After the Rawatib

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The place of the lesson. Yes, but he should move to the side and pray, or go out to a nearby place and pray there, then return. Is it not the case that if a need arises for him during the lesson, he goes out for wudu' and to fulfill that need?

The Shaykh:
So, if the prayer time arrives, he should stand up, pray, and then return. This is what is obligatory for him.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good

The questioner:
A listener from Jeddah asks and says: If a Muslim prays the rawatib prayer, meaning the one before Dhuhr or before Fajr, and then enters the mosque, does he pray or sit? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
If he enters the mosque, he prays two rak'ahs. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): If one of you enters the mosque
he should not sit until he has offered a tworak` at prayerلا يجلس حتى يصلي ركعتين
Sahih al-Bukhari 1167
, and he prays two rak'ahs as a greeting.
