Summary
A person who enters the mosque while a knowledge session is underway is recommended to perform the tahiyatul masjid prayer before sitting to listen. This is based on analogy with someone entering during the Friday sermon, who is told to pray two brief rakaats. If the Friday sermon, a condition for the validity of the Friday prayer, does not preclude it, then a knowledge session, which is not a condition for any prayer, all the more allows it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, sunat bagi seseorang untuk melakukan solat tahiyatul masjid terlebih dahulu sebelum duduk mendengar majlis ilmu.
