The Virtue Of Responding To The Adhaan & Praying The Tahiyyatil-Masjid
|
Question:
I entered the Masjid whilst the Adhaan for the prayer was being called, so do I pray the Tahiyyatil-Masjid (Prayer for Entering the Mosque, Lit. Greeting the Mosque) or do I wait until the end of the Adhaan?
|
Answer:
It is better that he responds to the Adhaan first, and then he prays the Tahiyyatil-Masjid so that he combines between the two virtues and the affair in that regard is broad.
And with Allaah lies the true success and may the blessings of Allaah and peace be upon our prophet Muhammad, his family and upon his companions.
