Hukum Solat Sunat Subuh Di Masjid Tanpa Menunaikan Solat Tahiyyatul Masjid Secara Berasingan
When entering a mosque at Subuh time, must one pray both Tahiyyatul Masjid and the Subuh sunnah prayer, or is the Subuh sunnah prayer alone sufficient?
Short answer
The two-rakaat Subuh sunnah prayer is sufficient to earn the reward of Tahiyyatul Masjid, since Tahiyyatul Masjid is not an independently intended act of worship and may be combined with another specific prayer.

Summary
The two-rakaat Subuh sunnah prayer is sufficient to earn the reward of Tahiyyatul Masjid, since Tahiyyatul Masjid is not an independently intended act of worship and may be combined with another specific prayer. Praying Tahiyyatul Masjid separately is not wrong because there is no specific prohibition. However, the ruling prefers that only the Subuh sunnah be prayed, in line with the practice of the Prophet SAW and the companions.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bagi yang ingin melaksanakan solat selain daripada dua rakaat sebelum Subuh seperti solat Tahiyyatul Masjid maka tidak menjadi suatu kesalahan kerana tiada sebarang larangan khusus dalam hal tersebut. Namun yang terbaiknya adalah dengan melaksanakan solat sunat Subuh sahaja.
