AL-KAFI #698: ADAKAH LUPUT HUKUM TAHIYYATUL MASJID SEKIRANYA BERDIRI MENUNGGU TAMAT AZAN KEDUA JUMAAT?
Does the tahiyyatul masjid prayer lapse if one stands waiting for the second Friday call to prayer to end, and may one pray voluntary prayers while the call is being made?
Short answer
The tahiyyatul masjid prayer does not lapse merely because a person stands, even for a long time.

Summary
The tahiyyatul masjid prayer does not lapse merely because a person stands, even for a long time. Waiting for the call to finish is meant to gain the merit of replying to it, which is recommended. For someone who enters while the second call is being made, this fatwa leans towards it being better to pray tahiyyatul masjid at once and forgo replying to the call, in order to preserve the merit of listening fully to the sermon. If the person sits down while the sermon is under way, the prayer is lost.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat ini tidak gugur hukumnya sekiranya seseorang itu masuk dalam masjid dan berdiri, sekalipun dalam masa yang lama.
