I prayed the Fajr Sunnah at home, then came to the mosque, but the prayer had not yet begun. Is it recommended for me to pray two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I pray the Fajr Sunnah in my room, then come to the mosque, and the prayer has not yet begun, is it recommended for me to pray two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
If I pray the Fajr Sunnah in my room, then come to the mosque, and the prayer has not yet begun, is it recommended for me to pray two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque?

The Shaykh:
There is a difference of opinion on this because it is a time of prohibition. So, in my view, it is better for you to sit, because you have already prayed the Fajr rawatib and you came to the mosque during a time of prohibition. The stronger view in my opinion is that you should sit. Yes.

The presenter:
He says: Honorable.

The Shaykh:
And if you delay the Fajr rawatib and come to the mosque and pray it there, it serves as a substitute for the greeting of the mosque. Yes.
