Summary
The tahiyatul masjid prayer is recommended in mosques or places such as surau that have an imam and a muezzin and hold the five daily congregational prayers. It is performed each time one enters the mosque, before sitting. If a person enters after the congregational obligatory prayer has started, it is not needed because the recommended prayer is fulfilled by the obligatory one. The fatwa also states that iktikaf is valid in such places, though it is preferable in a jamek mosque where Friday prayers are held.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat sunat Tahyatul masjid dilakukan setiap kali masuk masjid dan yang t duduk di dalamnya.
