Should he pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid or listen to the Adhaan?

Question: 5070

I entered the mosque and the
adhaan was being given for the prayer. Should I pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid or wait until the
adhaan finishes?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

It is better to respond to the adhaan first, then pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid, so as to combine two virtuous deeds. But the issue is flexible.

And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
