ANSWER:

Yes, these two rakas are called tahiatul masjid. One is not allowed to sit before praying it. However, if one joins the congregation immediately without sitting or offers sunnah of a prayer first, this exempts him from these two Rakah of tahiyatul masjid. 

Sheikh, is it true that when ever we enter the masjid, before sitting we have pray two rakahs of salah? when do we actually have to do it?
