Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the State of Qatar, the listener Musa Ali Adam sent a question, saying: Tell us about standing alone behind the imam during prayer. How is that done? Is it permissible? Is the prayer valid? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Standing behind the imam while you are alone is not permissible, and the prayer is not valid with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:327 He saw a man praying alone behind the row, and he ordered him to repeat the prayer. So it is not permissible for an individual to pray behind the people. Rather, he should wait until he finds a gap, or someone joins him in the row, or he moves forward to stand in the row with the imam on his right. As for praying alone, no. He should wait, or look for a gap. Yes.
