The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
If a person comes after the front rows are filled neatly and cannot find any gaps in the front rows, he should wait for somebody else to come. If he fears that he will miss the rak’ah, he pulls someone who knows the issues about prayer well and who will not feel disturbed out of the row and they will stand together in the last row. If there is no such person, it is permissible for him to stand alone in the last row. His prayer is valid.
