The ruling on changing one's location to perform a voluntary prayer after the obligatory prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it prescribed to change one's location after performing the obligatory prayer in order to perform a voluntary prayer? And is it true that the earth testifies for him in that regard?

Answer:
There is no evidence for this. There is no evidence for it. There is no harm in praying the voluntary prayer in a different location. One may pray the voluntary prayer in the same location as the obligatory prayer if he was praying behind an imam. However, the imam does not pray the voluntary prayer in his own location so that people do not think the prayer was not completed. Therefore, the imam does not pray in the location where he led the people in the obligatory prayer, lest those who see him think the prayer was not completed. As for anyone other than the imam, there is no harm. Yes.
