The ma'mum praying alone to the left of the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person prays alone to the left of the imam, is his prayer valid, or is he ordered to repeat it?
Answer:
No, it is not valid, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) turned the one who was on his left and placed him on his right during the prayer, as in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas. So if he continued to pray to the right of the imam, and there was no one to the left of the imam and no one to his right, the ma'mum's prayer is not valid. Yes.
