Or should it be a part of distractions for others,should i be sinful for overconfidence?

If I intend to go to a Masjid, InshAllah, for an Obligatory Prayer such as Zuhr.

If I go to the Masjid, should I just pray the Tahyitul Masjid prayer before, or is it permissible to pray the 4 rak’at Sunnah before/after?
