Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a person prays the voluntary prayer in his home during the Fajr time, and then goes to the mosque, should he sit or should he pray the greeting of the mosque?
Answer:
If he prays the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr in his home and then comes to the mosque before the iqamah, he may pray the regular voluntary prayer of the greeting of the mosque, or he may sit, because the greeting of the mosque is not obligatory. If he does it, that is better, and if he leaves it, there is no sin on him.
