The ruling on praying to the right of the imam for one who finds the row complete
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding a person who enters the prayer and finds the row complete, and does not find anyone in the second row to stand with, does he enter with the imam alone?
Answer:
Yes, either he enters the row if he finds a place, or he enters to the right of the imam, and he does not stand alone behind the row, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying behind the row and ordered him to repeat the prayer, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

There is no prayer for a single person behind the row.
لا صلاة لفذ خلف الصف.
