One Who Finds No One to Stand With in the Row

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person enters the mosque and finds no one to stand with in the row, and he strives to find a gap but does not find one, does he have no prayer in light of the hadith that prohibits this? And does he remain without praying with them until someone comes to him?

Answer:
Yes, if he does not find a place, he waits. If someone comes, he prays with him. If no one comes, he is excused; he remains excused. He does not pray alone behind the row, because this contradicts the hadiths from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If he sees a man praying behind the row, he orders him to repeat it, and says:
There is no prayer for a single person behind the rowلا صلاة لفذ خلف الصف
. Wait, if someone comes, and if not, he is excused because he does not enter with him.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
