Question:
He says: I prayed one of the obligatory prayers, and there were people praying beside me. Then suddenly they separated to pray individually, and I remained alone following the imam, with no one beside me. I can hear the imam’s voice when he bows and prostrates. What is the ruling on my prayer?

Answer:
If you prayed alone, your prayer is not valid. It was obligatory for you to join the row in front of you. It was obligatory for you to join the row in front of you. If there was a row in front of you, or you lagged behind in the row behind you. As for remaining alone with no one on your right and no one on your left, your prayer is not valid, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
There is no prayer for a single person behind the row.لا صلاة لفذ خلف الصف.
