The questioner : If a person enters the mosque before the Zuhr prayer and prays two rak'ahs, and then the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, does he pray four rak'ahs or is he content with two?
The Shaykh : Zuhr?
The questioner : Zuhr.
The Shaykh : Yes, what you prayed before the adhan is not rawatib; it is considered the sunnah of greeting the mosque. So when the adhan is called, pray two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs.
