Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, the questioner Abu 'Abdullah asks: If I enter the mosque for the Fajr prayer, do I pray the rawatib of Fajr and then the greeting of the mosque? What is obligatory for me?
Answer:
If you are early and Fajr has not yet entered, you may pray whatever you wish. If Fajr has entered, you pray the rawatib of Fajr. However, if the time of Fajr has already begun, you do not pray anything except the rawatib of Fajr, because the time for prohibiting voluntary prayers has entered, except for the rawatib of Fajr. Yes.
