The Position of a Single Ma'mum Relative to the Imam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the congregation in prayer consists of two people, does the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) stand slightly behind the imam?

Answer:
No, he should not align with him; he should be even with him. Yes.
