09. TAHIYYAT AL MASJID [Greeting the mosque]
TAHIYYAT AL MASJID
Alhmadulillah.
-
Tahiyyat al- Masjid Ki 2 rakat ka ada karna Aksar ulema ke nazdik Sunnat hai aur baaz Ahle ilm ne isko ijma naqal kiya hai.
- Abu Qataadah( رضي الله عنه) farmaate hai keh: “Nabi Kareem(ﷺ)farmaaye, “Jab tum mein se jo koi masjid mein dakhil ho baithne se pehle do rakat namaz ada karlen.”
[Bukhari & Muslim]
- An Nawawi( رحمه الله) farmaate hai keh, Ulemah ne Tahiyyat al-masjid ko mustahab kaha hai, aur admi ke liye Tahiyyat al-masjid bina koi Uzr na parhna makrooh hai yani Na pasandida hai, Abu qataadah( رضي الله عنه) waali hadees ki bina par jo keh wazeh hai.
[Majmoo’ , 3/544]
- Hafiz Ibn Hajar( رحمه الله) farmaate hai keh: Aiemah ka fatawaa hai is baat par yani ittefaq hai keh Tahiyyat al-masjid ada karne Mandoob hai yani mustahab hai jo keh wajib nahi,
- Aur Ibn Battaal( رحمه الله) ne Ahlo Zahir yani Is hadees ki bina par wo farmaate hai keh, Tahiyyat al-masjid ki do rakat ada karna Wajib hai,
- lekin Ibn Hazm(رحمه الله) farmaate hai keh ye wajib nahi hai.
[Fath al-Baari, 1/538, 539, Aur Dekhe al-muhalla, 2/7]
- Lajnah Daeema ke Fatawaa (7/137) mein hai keh: Ye Sunnat hai keh jo masjid mein dakhil ho baithne se pehle do rakat Tahiyyat al-masjid ada karlen, Jaise ke Nabi Kareem(ﷺ) ke Umoomi qawl ke mutabiq, jo koi masjid mein dakhil ho wo na baithe jab tak ke do rakat Tahiyyat al-masjid ada na karlen.
[Mutafiq alai]
- Aur Sheikh Uthaymeen( رحمه الله) farmaate hai keh: Tahiyyat al-masjid ka Wajib hona Wala jo qawl hai ye mazboot hai,
Lekin behetar maloom hota hai wo ye hai keh Tahiyyat al-masjid Sunnat-e-mu’akkadah hai.
[Majmoo al fatawaa 14/354]
Wallahu alam.

GREETING THE MOSQUE
Praise be to Allah.
Tahiyyat al-masjid (“greeting the mosque”) is Sunnah according to most of the scholars; some of the scholars stated that there was consensus on this point.
Abu Qataadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When one of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down until he has prayed two rak‘ahs.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1167; Muslim, 714
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is mustahabb to greet the mosque, and it is makrooh to sit down without greeting it with no excuse, because of the hadeeth of Abu Qataadah which clearly states that that is not allowed.
End quote from al-Majmoo‘, 3/544
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The scholars are unanimously agreed that the command in this case is a recommendation (as opposed to an obligation). Ibn Battaal narrated from the literalists that it is obligatory, but Ibn Hazm stated that it is not obligatory.

It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (7/137): The Sunnah for the one who enters the mosque at any time is to pray tahiyyat al-masjid, because of the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): “When one of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down until he has prayed two ra ‘ahs. Saheeh – agreed upon.
End quote.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The view that tahiyyat al-masjid is obligatory is a strong view, but the more likely to be correct is the view that it is a confirmed Sunnah (Sunnah mu’akkadah). And Allah knows best.
End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 14/354
And Allah knows best.
