If a worshiper is harmed by the fans and air conditioners in the mosque and cannot find a suitable spot, it is permissible for him to pray alone behind the row. The obligations of prayer, such as aligning in rows, are waived due to excuses, in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: (So fear Allah as much as you are able). If he finds someone to pray with him behind the row, that is better, or if he finds a back row designated for those with excuses in a place that does not harm him, he must pray with them.
