Tahiyyat al-Masjid (Greeting the Masjid) - Some Principles - Fareed Abdullah

Here is a question that was raised after the first lecture from a seminar titled: The Masjid and Its Regulation in Islaam, delivered by Fareed Abdullah (rahimahullah Ta'ala).

"Tahiyyat al-Masjid" or the two rakahs you pray before sitting and coming to the Masjid. One of the questions that arises is, can these two be prayed at the forbidden time? And there is a discussion amongst the Ahlul-ilm concerning this. Is it allowed if you come, for example, in the Masjid, the sun is rising? Can you pray those two rakahs during that time? Or if the sun is directly over here? Or if the sun is setting? Or after you have prayed the Fajr prayer or after Salatul Asr once the sun gets pale? Can you pray "Tahiyyat al-Masjid" during those times?

Here is the detailed response that he (rahimahullah Ta'ala) gave to this question:
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
