The ruling on praying alone behind the rows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Ali from Jeddah says: May Allah bless you. What is the ruling on praying alone behind the rows? And is it permissible for me to pull someone back to form a row with me, or not?

Answer:
If you arrive and the row is full, try to join the row if possible. If you cannot, enter and stand to the right of the imam. Enter and stand to the right of the imam. Do not pray alone behind the row, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
There is no prayer for a single person behind the rowلا صلاة لفذ خلف الصف
, and he saw a man praying alone behind the row, so he ordered him to repeat the prayer. So try to join the row if possible. If you cannot, enter to the right of the imam. If you cannot, there is no harm in alerting a man in the row to move back so he can pray with you. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with the best reward.
