Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In the hadith
The prayer of a person who prays alone behind the row is not accepted.لا صلاة لمنفرد خلف الصف،
Bulugh al-Maram 2:327
, if I do not find a space, should I pull one of the worshippers from the last row, or should I pray alone?

Answer:
The hadith is:
There is no prayer for a single person behind the rowلا صلاة لفذ خلف الصف
. This indicates that it is not permissible for a person to pray alone behind the row. You should try to get into the row if possible, or stand to the right of the imam, or wait until someone comes to stand with you, and do not stand alone. Yes.
