If a man leaves the mosque to perform wudu, does he have to pray the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque when he returns?

Question:
He says: I was sitting in the mosque, then I went out to perform wudu outside the mosque. So, when I return, is it obligatory for me to pray two rak'ahs?

Answer:
No. First, the greeting of the mosque is not obligatory; rather, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) for one who enters the mosque and intends to sit. He said: However, if he leaves to perform wudu or for a need with the intention of returning, then this is considered as if he remained in the mosque. He does not have to pray the greeting of the mosque when he returns, because his return is connected to his initial sitting. Yes.
