The funeral prayer is not invalidated by the unevenness of the rows, but straightening them is a that should not be abandoned. The Hanbalis believe that the prayer of one who prays alone behind a row without an excuse is not valid, whether in the funeral prayer or other prayers. Therefore, one should avoid praying alone behind a row if a space is available.
