Performing Tahiyyatul Masjid After The Time Of Fajr Has Set In

Question

Please advise me whether one can read Tahiyyatul Masjid Salaat once Fajr time has set in.

Context to the question: I reach the Masjid and Fajr time has set in. I still need to perform my 2 Rakaats of Fajr Sunnat Salaah. There is sufficient time for the Fardh Salaat to commence.

Answer

One should not perform a separate two Rakaats of Tahiyatul-Masjid once Fajr time has set in, the two Rakaats Sunnat of Fajr will suffice as Tahiyatul-Masjid.

Mufti Muhammed Saeed Motara Saheb D.B.
