If a man cannot join the row and does not pray alone due to the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) against praying behind the row, is his action valid in prioritizing the prohibition over the command?

The questioner : Shaykh, there is a question here. If a man cannot join the row and does not pray alone due to the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) against praying behind the row, is his action valid in prioritizing the prohibition over the command? He did not pray and remained like this until another person arrives?

The Shaykh : This is a mistake. If the one who wants to pray the obligatory prayer standing cannot do so, does he abandon it? He prays sitting. Why? Because he cannot. This man cannot join the row and does not find anyone to pair with in the row. Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. So he prays alone. And we say this after he has made his best effort to join the row. And this is possible today easily due to people's ignorance and heedlessness regarding making the rows compact, meaning.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : I believe it is possible in the rows established today. In a row, for example, ten meters long, two or three people can step down with complete ease. So if this individual makes an effort and does not find space to join the row in front of him, he prays alone, and his prayer is valid, and that hadith does not apply to him . This is its assembly, Professor. The red finger, what do you call it?
The student : ... .

The Shaykh : A clamp. This clamp, now when you want to open it, it rotates... with the stand.
Abu Layla : Put it aside, the Shaykh intended. The Shaykh, aside, aside, let it be aside. No, no, it is tilted. Yes, okay, our Shaykh, it is working.

The Shaykh : Yes, because here he is hitting. I have noticed from the beginning.

The questioner : Now the stands are being placed, it is not closing.

The Shaykh: Yes.
