The prayer of one who remains alone behind the rows after his companion departs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I prayed behind the rows with a person. When we had completed one rak'ah, the one next to me broke his prayer to perform wudu', so I remained alone behind the rows after we had completed another rak'ah. Then a person came in the third rak'ah and stood in the row with me. What is the ruling on my prayer in that case?
Answer:
It appears that your prayer is not valid, because when the one who was praying with you left, you became alone, so your prayer is not valid. Yes.
