The ruling on a worshiper entering a completed row

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. My question is: A person entered the mosque at the time of prayer, and the middle of the row was full, and he did not find a gap in the row. So, should he pull someone out of the row, or wait, or pray alone? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
So he waits. The one who enters waits and does not pray alone and does not pull anyone out. But if someone lags behind, it is permissible for him to hurt himself without pulling anyone out. As for pulling someone out, it is not permissible. The hadith that was reported regarding this matter is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He stands with him, or he enters the row. He tries to enter the row if he finds a place for himself, or to the right of the imam. He shifts and enters to the right of the imam. All of these are options: either he waits, or he enters the row, or he enters to the right of the imam. Yes.
