f:820 -    Changing place to offer Sunnah or Supererogatory Salaat
Country : Riyadh,
Name : Majid Khan
Question:     Normally, we see in Masjid that after Fardh Salaat, people move to their left to offer Sunnah.  Is it not correct to offer Sunnah Salaat at the same place where the Fardh was offered? Please tell me where should we offer Sunnah Salaat?
............................................................................
Answer:     About offering Sunnah Salaat, there are different rules for those who lead the Salaat and for those who offer Salaat in the lead of an Imam.  For those who follow and for the person who offers Salaat singly, it is better to move to the right or the left for offering Sunnah or Supererogatory (Nafl) Salaat.  However, it is permissible without any reservation to offer Salaat at the same spot as well.  

For the Imam, it is Undesirable (Makruh Tanzeehi) to offer Salaat at the same spot as the Fardh Salaat and to move to the right, left or front, right is Commendable (Mustahab)

As given in Radd Ul Muhtaar, Pg No: 293
