[@abdullahassaffah]

The four imaams - al-Shaafa’i, Malik, Abu Haneefah and Imam Ahmad (according to one opinion narrated from him) - said that the prayer of a person standing alone behind a row is valid, whether the row in front of him is complete or not. They said that the hadeeth “There is no prayer for the one who stands alone behind a row” (reported by Ahmad in al-Musnad, 4/23 and by Ibn Maajah, no. 1003, and classed as saheeh by al-Albani in al-Irwa’, no. 514) Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah took a moderate view, and said: “If the row is full, then the prayer of the one who stands alone behind the row is valid, because in this case he is not able to be a part of the row, and Allah does not burden a person beyond his scope. If the row is not full, then it is not right for him to pray standing alone behind the row, because he has no excuse.”

Just touch guy in front on his shoulder so he makes new row with you

[@fasilmubarak8529]

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah took a moderate view, and said: “If the row is full, then the prayer of the one who stands alone behind the row is valid, because in this case he is not able to be a part of the row, and Allah does not burden a person beyond his scope. If the row is not full, then it is not right for him to pray standing alone behind the row, because he has no excuse.” This is the view of Shaykh al-Islam and of our Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sa’di (may Allah have mercy on him). This is the view that we think is correct, which is that if the row is full, pray standing on your own, and do not pull someone out of the row to join you or go and stand with the imaam in front. This is the correct opinion, which we think is closer to the Sunnah than the opinion that the prayer of the one who stands on his own is absolutely invalid or is unconditionally valid. And Allah knows best. (Liqa’ al-Bab al-maftooh by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 226).

[@theislamicschool9081]

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, I made some research on this matter a while back, and two opinions out of the rest seemed to be the most correct in terms of accommodating different narrations and deduction. Firstly, that the prayer of the one praying behind the row is invalid l as is explicit in the authentic narration from the Messenger of Allah salalahu alaihi wasalam, whether the row is full or not. If you pray on your own behind the row, when the row is full, then whatever you pray with the imam whilst being alone will have to be repeated (if a unit is prayed or more or a pillar has been carried out), but if someone joins you whilst you have not missed a unit of prayer or any pillar of prayer (like faatihah, ruku etc) then you pray you as normal. This is the literal position concerning this matter and there is room for its acceptance. The second opinion is that the prayer of one who prays behind the row alone is invalid, however if the row is full and there is no way a person can join that row then standing alone in the next and praying is OK, out of necessity, he has no choice but to stand there and the ruling at the time of necessity is changed for that specific time, this principle is clear from many texts of the Quran and Sunnah. So, this opinion has also room of acceptance and can also be applied. So the intended meaning of the person praying alone behind the row is when there is space in the row in front but he prays alone behind it, then the prayer is invalid, otherwise if the row is full then there out of necessity he will pray there and his prayer is invalid. But other opinions like taking someone out of the front row to join you is a weak and unacceptable opinion because it goes against the order of the Messenger of Allah salalahu alaihi wasalam to complete the first rows and his saying that whoever breaks the row, may Allah break him/Allah will break him. Whereas the above two opinions don't go against other orders or warnings. Such two opinions are acceptable as both meanings can be intended and extracted from the saying that there is no prayer whatsoever of the one who prays alone behind the row, and whichever one is more inclined to after research then he can apply. Just like, when the Messenger of Allah salalahu alaihi wasalam ordered the companions to pray asr at the place of Bani Quraidhah, some companions prayed it there even though the time had gone because they said the Prophet ordered this and didn't stipulate anything, so this was the literal approach, others said what he intended was that we reach there during the period of asr and hasten in reaching there, not that we miss asr and pray it later or delay it, because in the Quran it says that prayers have been prescribed at specific times. So, when hearing this the Messenger of Allah salalahu alaihi wasalam remained quite and approved both opinions as both were possible from the wording of his order and were not going directly against other text. One may say that the first opinion was going against the ayah of the second group mentioned, but the Messenger of mentioning what he ordered in the manner he did can be applied as a specific ruling for that time due to necessity. Anyhow, the conclusion is that the two opinions mentioned above seem to be acceptable in this case as both have some room of acceptance, even though I am more inclined and see the second opinion to be more correct. And Allah knows best.

[@zuberhaniff2938]

Please don't complicate the Deen Its very simple do not pray alone in the musjid when there is a congregation. If the saaf is full start a new saaf.. Where behind the imaam simple.. Don't get to technical this will become a debate and eventually force people out of the musjid.

[@humaidahnnooman]

Yup...agreed

[@Hamzah4U]

This is shocking to see he is quoting the hadith without the majority of Commentary made by hadith commentators on this particular hadith. They will quote the madhab of Imaams but won't quote that opinion which is more close to the sunnah. Even if the whole majority practices an act favoured by Imaams, still it isn't enough to say that they can't be wrong. Imam Malik was firmly on 11 rakahs in Ramadhan and he opposed an act of entire people and scholars of Madeenah. Imam Malik alone breaks the so called Ijma, because his emphasis was on the words "من أحدث" This report has been reported by Ashab Bin Abdul Aziz d.204H and Ibn Al-Qasim d.191H both emphatically which proved 11 rakahs in Taraweeh. “There is no prayer for the one who prays in the row by himself” is only in reference to the extent of one’s ability and adequacy to perform all the rest of the acts of worship. For example, standing for the obligatory prayer is a pillar (of the prayer). Therefore, if one prays sitting while he has the ability to stand, his prayer is not valid. However, if he is not able to stand, then he could pray sitting, as the Prophet, sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Pray standing. But if you are not able to, then sitting. But if you are not able to, then on your bed.” This goes the same for the case of the individual who prays behind the row by himself, in that his condition is that he is not able to join into the row that is before him. Furthermore, So many scholars from the past and those are still alive held the opinion of praying behind the row alone in a situation where you find no space in the first row and hence one can pray behind the row alone. This is the view of Imaam Ibn Taymiyyah and Shaykh Albani as well. But this is Shaykh didn't dare to quote the other views as well which are more closer to the Sunnah. Inflallibility is for no one except Prophet, just keep that is mind.

[@ImranHulandi]

You make fair points, I see your qiyas there also, but you have to remember that as-Shuway'ir is a strong shaykh in Fiqh, I doubt he does not know these opinions. It appears to me that he concludes this to be the strongest opinion, and he has that right to conclude that this is true based on his research.

[@eesaabdurrahman1569]

This can’t be correct. Salaat is obligatory. If you can’t fit into the row, it’s not your fault, but you still have to pray. No way your Salaat is invalidated when you have no control over matter.

[@eesaabdurrahman1569]

@IbnMohammadAlHaqq so what do the scholars say? Pray in a row alone, even though the prayer is not valid and then pray again later by yourself? That seems extremely odd to me. That can’t possibly be right.

@IbnMohammadAlHaqq so, stand next to the imam as if it were only the two of you? (Until someone else shows up, I suppose) That does make more sense logically but is there evidence for this position?

Difference of opinion but there are two ways this is allowed firstly Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah took a moderate view, and said: “If the row is full, then the prayer of the one who stands alone behind the row is valid, because in this case he is not able to be a part of the row, and Allah does not burden a person beyond his scope. If the row is not full, then it is not right for him to pray standing alone behind the row, because he has no excuse.” The four imaams - al-Shaafa’i, Malik, Abu Haneefah and Imam Ahmad (according to one opinion narrated from him) - said that the prayer of a person standing alone behind a row is valid, whether the row in front of him is complete or not. They said that the hadeeth “There is no prayer for the one who stands alone behind a row” (reported by Ahmad in al-Musnad, 4/23 and by Ibn Maajah, no. 1003, and classed as saheeh by al-Albani in al-Irwa’, no. 514) Last opinion is mentioned here not valid in any way The first two opinion are clearly stronger then the opinion mentioned here
