Greeting of the Sacred Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the greeting of the Sacred Mosque? Is it circumambulating the House, or does he pray two rak'ahs like the other mosques?

Answer:
If he is coming from a journey, his greeting is tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah). But if he is not coming from a journey, he is like the people of all other mosques; his greeting is to pray two rak'ahs before he sits. Yes.
