Question:
May Allah reward you. We also received this question: What is the ruling on a person praying alone behind the rows if no one comes to pray with him?
Answer:
He should not pray behind the rows. If no one comes, he should pray after the imam has finished his prayer. If he is certain that no one will come, he should pray, and he is excused in this, because the prayer of a single person behind the rows is invalid due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said (peace and blessings be upon him): Yes.
