Does moving from a mosque where Fajr was prayed to another mosque where there is a Qur'an memorization circle—the distance between them being short—cause one to miss the reward of a complete Hajj and Umrah with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned in the Hadith: "Whoever prays Fajr, then sits remembering Allah until the sun rises, he will have..."? And does "the sun rises" mean its shurooq (first appearance) or its elevation by the length of a spear? And should the two rak'ahs be prayed at shurooq or after the sun has risen?

There is no harm in moving from one mosque to another after prayer to attend a lesson of knowledge. This is better than remaining in the first mosque until the sun rises. This is because seeking knowledge is beneficial, whereas praying the two rak'ahs (of Duha) should be done after the sun has risen to the height of a spear.
