The two rak'ahs of Salaat al-Fajr and Tahayyatul-Masjid
Question:
"Do the two (sunnah) rak'ahs of Salaat al-Fajr suffice in place of the (two rak'ahs of) tahayyatul-masjid? And if a person was to perform both the (two rak'ahs of) tahayyatul-masjid and the two (sunnah) rak'ahs of Salaat al-Fajr, has he sinned?"
Answer:
"The two (sunnah) rak'ahs of Salaat al-Fajr suffice for itself as well as the (two rak'ahs of) tahayyatul-masjid; and this is better and preferred. And if he performed the (two rak'ahs of) tahayyatul-masjid first and then the two (sunnah) rak'ahs of Salaat al-Fajr, then there is no harm (in having done this).
And with Allaah lies all success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his noble companions."
