Performing the Tahiyyatul-Masjid whilst the Adhaan is being called

Performing the Tahiyyatul-Masjid whilst the Adhaan is being called
Question: What is the ruling regarding performing the Tahiyyatul-Masjid (a 2 rak’ah prayer upon entering the masjid) whilst the mu.adhdhin is calling the adhaan, keeping in mind that there is no time between the adhaan and the iqaamah to perform the Tahiyyatul-Masjid?

Response: It is preferable to wait in order to respond (to the adhaan) and then say:

((O Allaah, Owner of this perfect call…))

…except for the (adhaan of the) Jumu’ah prayer when it is preferable to perform the Tahiyyatul-Masjid.
