Summary
A person entering a mosque is recommended to perform two rak'ahs of tahiyyat al-masjid. This remains recommended for someone who arrives while the imam is delivering the Friday sermon, and the prayer must be kept brief, limited to the obligatory elements, after which he sits and listens to the sermon. If he arrives near the end of the sermon and is confident that praying would make him miss the opening takbir with the imam, he does not perform it and it is recommended that he stand until the Friday prayer begins.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Begitu juga jika seseorang yang datang ke masjid dan imam sedang berkhutbah di atas mimbar, maka dia masih dituntut menunaikan solat sunat tersebut dan duduk mendengar khutbah setelah menunaikannya.
