What is the ruling on changing one's place when praying the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) after the obligatory prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I see some of the worshippers, when they want to pray the regular voluntary prayer after the obligatory prayer, change their place. The question is: Is it necessary to change the place? What is the evidence for that? And what is required of the one who prays the voluntary prayer in the same place where he prayed the obligatory prayer and did not change it?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade connecting one prayer to another without speaking or moving in between. So, if there is speech, whether it is the remembrance of Allah or greeting the person next to you, that is a sufficient separator, even if you do not change your place. And if you separate them by changing your place, that also achieves the intended purpose. Yes.
