Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man entered the mosque after the adhan for Fajr and prayed four rak'ahs with two taslims: two rak'ahs for the greeting of the mosque, and two rak'ahs for the Sunnah of Fajr. Is his action valid?
Answer:
It is not obligatory. If he prays two rak'ahs with the intention of the rawatib of Fajr, they suffice for the greeting, just as if he entered and prayed the obligatory prayer, it suffices for the rawatib of Fajr. Yes, the important thing is that he prays when he enters the mosque and does not sit until he prays. Yes.
