The ruling on praying alone behind the rows for one who finds no place in a row
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This is a caller to the program, Talih Muhammad from Iraq, who says: I ask you, Honorable Shaykh, if a man enters the mosque and does not find a place for his feet in a row, is it permissible for him to pray alone, or should he wait for those entering the mosque? If he enters while the people are praying, he stands in
Answer:
the row. If he does not find a place in it, he waits until someone comes to stand in a row with him, and he does not stand alone behind the row. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There is no prayer for one who stands alone behind the row.” He saw a man praying behind the row and ordered him to repeat the prayer. These are two authentic hadiths, because the prayer of one who stands alone is not valid.
So he waits until someone comes to stand in a row with him, or he tries to find a place for himself in the row, or if it is facilitated that he enters and stands to the right of the imam. But if neither of these is facilitated, he waits until someone enters to stand in a row with him, and he is excused. He is excused for his delay in entering the prayer. Yes.
