Answer:

 

Pray tahiyat masjid after asr

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Al-Muwatta Hadith 9.60

Yahya related from Malik,  from Amir ibn Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr,  from Amr ibn Sulaymaz-Zuraqi,  from Abu Qatadaal-Ansari that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "Whenever you enter the masjid,  you should pray two rakahs (tahiyat-ul-masjid) before you sit down."

 

Al-Muwatta Hadith 15.48

Yahya related from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from al Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah (saws) forbade any prayer after (the obligatory prayer of) ‘Asr’ until the sun had set, and prayer after (the obligatory prayer of) ‘Fajr’ until the sun had risen.

 

Although the Messenger of Allah (saws) guided the believers and it was his (saws) preferred Sunnah to offer a two-rakah ‘tahiyat ul masjid’ prayer whenever one enters the masjid and intends to sit down, because there is a specific prohibition regarding offering any optional prayer after one has offered the obligatory ‘Asr’ prayer, the absolute majority of the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that if one enters the ‘masjid’ after the ‘Asr’ prayer, one should not offer any optional prayer until the sun has completely set.

 

One may recite the Glorious Quran, or praise, glorify, extol, and remember Allah, or make as many supplications as one wills…..that would Insha Allah suffice to respect and honor one’s entrance to the sacred Houses of Allah.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
