The second question of fatwa number ( 18447 )
Q1: What is the ruling on the prayer of a person praying alone behind the rows if he does not find a gap in the row? Does he pray alone behind them, or does he pull one of the worshippers from the row in front of him?
A1 : If a person enters and the row is already complete, he should try to find a place for himself in the row. If he is unable to do so, he should enter to the right of the imam. If he is unable to do that, he should wait until someone comes to stand in the row with him. It is not permissible for him to pray alone behind the rows; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , .
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

It is not permissible for him to pray alone behind the rows; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is no prayer for a single person behind the row.
لا صلاة لفذ خلف الصفAnd he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the one who sees him praying behind the rows to repeat the prayer
وأمر صلى الله عليه وسلم من رآه يصلي خلف الصف أن يعيد الصلاةAnd success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
