If one enters the mosque after the second adhan of Fajr, does he pray the greeting of the mosque or the rawatib?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence. In the Fajr prayer, after the second adhan, is it permissible for a person to pray the greeting of the mosque, or to pray only the rawatib?
The Shaykh : Yes, if one enters the mosque after the Fajr adhan and wants to pray, if there is ample time, he prays the greeting of the mosque first, then the rawatib. If there is not ample time, he prays the rawatib, and it suffices for the greeting of the mosque. This is the stronger position, based on the view that the time of prohibition does not begin until after the Fajr prayer. As for the view of some scholars who say that the prohibition begins from the time the Fajr time enters, they do not allow you to pray the greeting of the mosque and say: Intend it as the rawatib. This is because they do not allow voluntary prayer after the time of prohibition enters, even if it has no cause. However, the stronger position is what we mentioned first. And if one limits himself to the rawatib while there is ample time, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : What is the meaning of al-rughibah?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : What is the meaning of al-rughibah?
The Shaykh : Al-rughibah; he means al-rughibah, which means the rawatib. They call the rawatib al-rughibah, and this appears to be African dialect.
