Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the prayer of the individual—O Shaykh—he knows that the row in front of him is completely full. What is required of him in such a situation?
Answer:
Yes, but he should be with two or more people; he does not pray alone. He should look for a gap or stand to the right of the imam, unless he finds another person with him, in which case there is no harm; they become two or more behind the row. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 2:327; and because he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying alone behind the row and ordered him to repeat the prayer. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
