Ask The Imam Question and Answer

372 In Namaz I often see that people swap places with each other to read their remaining rakats (i.e. after 2 farz of Jummah, people will move to a different spot to read the next 4 Sunnahs), what is the thinking behind this? And if this is not done is it a Sin?
The place of prayer is gawaah (witness) that at that place you carried out that Ibadat (worship), therefore the idea it to make a different place witness and also to break the saf (row) so the latecomers don’t think the Jammah (congregation) is being held. It is not a Sin if you can't or don't move, or swap places (this is not a obligatory (Fard) or necessary (Wajib) action (amal)).
