The ruling on the prayer of one who prays alone behind the rows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on the prayer of a person praying alone behind the imam if a latecomer enters alone behind the row?

The Shaykh:
What is the ruling on what?

The questioner:
What is the ruling on the prayer of a person praying alone behind the imam if a latecomer enters alone behind the row, and then another man enters with him before the imam finishes this rak'ah?

The Shaykh:
By Allah, I did not understand the question. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on the prayer of a person praying alone behind the imam if he enters...

The Shaykh:
...or behind the row. A person praying alone behind the row is a matter of scholarly disagreement. If he says the takbir alone behind the row, and then another person comes with him before the prostration, his prayer is valid. However, if he prostrates before anyone comes with him, his prayer is invalid. Yes.
