What is the reason for moving to another position after fardh for the sunnah prayer

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

It is recommended—particularly for the imam—to move to another place to perform the post-fard sunna prayers because of hadiths [such as one related by Imam Muslim] from the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) indicating this.

Among the wisdoms behind this is:

a) having more than one place witness for one on the Day of Judgement;

b) to ‘break the lines of prayer’ so that a late incomer can readily tell that the obligatory prayer is over. [Hashiyat al-Tahtawi, Imdad]

And Allah alone gives success.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani
