Summary
The tahiyyatul masjid prayer is prescribed for a person entering a mosque, based on a hadith in al-Bukhari telling him not to sit before praying two rak'ahs. The fatwa first defines the masjid, the masjid al-Jami' and the musolla as groundwork for the discussion. According to the Shafi'i school, a musolla is not counted as a mosque, so rulings specific to mosques such as i'tikaf and the restriction on a person in a state of janabah staying there do not apply to it. The text provided ends before the conclusion on the surau is stated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut mazhab al-Syafi'e musolla tidak dikira sebagai masjid.
