Summary
Moving to another place after the obligatory prayer before performing the rawatib sunnah prayer is recommended, not obligatory. The best place is the home, though a mosque or another place also suffices, so as to increase places of prostration and to separate the obligatory prayer from the voluntary one. If one does not move, speaking with someone is enough, but moving is more virtuous.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dan adalah disunatkan untuk beralih tempat bagi menunaikan solat sunat atau fardu daripada tempat yang telah ditunaikan solat fardu atau solat sunat ke tempat yang lain agar diperbanyakkan tempat-tempat sujud.
