The ruling on making up the greeting of the mosque after sitting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I enter the mosque and have not yet prayed the greeting of the mosque, and I sit for a period, do I stand up to pray it or not?
The Shaykh:
If you were forgetful, stand up. But if you intentionally sat down and then it occurs to you to perform it, do not stand up; its place has passed. It is not obligatory in the first place; it is a sunnah (recommended practice).
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The man who came and sat down while the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon was told, “Stand up and pray.” He stood up after sitting. If one leaves it off out of forgetfulness, and then remembers it, he stands up and performs it. Yes.
