So, you should make up the sunnah but not tahiyyatul masjid because tahiyyah is not a fully independent prayer; the tahiyya simply means to greet the masjid with a prayer before you even sit. So, when you prayed fajr as soon as you got in, you pretty much greeted the masjid with a prayer, i.e. you did tahiyya.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328ed","tag":"Salah: Missed & Make-Up","count":92},{"_id":"668da0170b76658b4c232de6","tag":"Salah: Special & Sunnah","count":69}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:44.074Z"}
