If one enters the mosque during the time of Duha and prays the Duha prayer, does that suffice for the greeting of the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : Do the two rak'ahs of Duha include the greeting of the mosque?
The Shaykh : For example, if a person enters the mosque at the time of Duha and prays with the intention of the Duha sunnah, that suffices for the greeting of the mosque. Likewise, the rawatib suffices for the greeting of the mosque. If a person enters, for example, and prays the Fajr rawatib or the first Zuhr rawatib, that suffices for the greeting of the mosque. However, the greeting of the mosque does not suffice for these. That is, if he enters after the Zuhr adhan and intends the two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque, it does not suffice for the rawatib.
The questioner : That is, he intends it to be the rawatib.
The Shaykh : He intends it to be the rawatib, and the greeting of the mosque is dropped.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
