Solat tahiyatul masjid ketika azan berkumandang
Should one pray tahiyyatul masjid immediately when entering a mosque during the call to prayer, or wait until the adhan finishes?
Short answer
A person who arrives at the mosque while the adhan is being called should remain standing out of respect and respond to the call.

Summary
A person who arrives at the mosque while the adhan is being called should remain standing out of respect and respond to the call. The tahiyyatul masjid prayer is then performed after the adhan ends, which is the more virtuous course. However, if the prayer is performed during the adhan, it is still valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Selepas selesai azan, barulah didirikan solat tahiyyatul masjid dan inilah yang utama (afdal). Walau bagaimanapun, jika solat sunat itu dikerjakan semasa azan berkumandang, maka solat tersebut adalah sah.
