If one finds the row complete, how does he pray?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man comes to the mosque and finds that the row is complete and he cannot enter the row, what should he do?

Answer:
He should wait if someone comes to pray with him. He should not wait, nor should he pray alone behind the row, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited that and ordered the one who prayed behind the row to repeat the prayer. He said:
There is no prayer for a person alone behind the rowلا صلاة لفرد خلف الصف
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:489
. He should wait; if someone comes, he prays with him. Praise be to Allah, no one came. He is excused. He waited and no one came, so he is excused. He prays alone when the imam finishes the prayer, he prays alone because he is excused. Yes.
