Is it necessary to change place after Farz Namaz in the mosque to read sunnat and nafl?
Question
1) If there is no way to go back and anyone read sunnat and naft at same place where he read Farz Namaz then is it permissible? 2) If a person read Namaz in home or as Munfarid (in mosque), is it necessary for him to change place after performing Farz Namaz?
Answer
It is not necessary to change places after the Fardh Salaat in order to recite the Sunan and Nawaafil Salaats. One may recite his Salaat in the same position, however, it is preferable to change position. (Aalamgiri vol.1 pg.113)

Which sunnah salaah are emphasised (muakkadah)?
“Sunnah Salaah should not be unduly missed during a journey. However, if the Musaafir is in a hurry then, apart from the Sunnah of Fajr, it will be permissible for him to omit the other Sunnah Salaahs.”
