The ruling on one who enters the mosque and does not find a space for him in the row

Question:
He says—O Shaykh: I entered the mosque and did not find a place for me in the row, and I waited for a while but no one came. Should I pray alone behind the row?
Answer:
Do not pray alone; rather, move forward and pray with the imam on his right. If that is not possible, close the gap between the rows until you find a space. If you still do not find one, wait until the imam concludes the prayer, then pray alone. Yes.
