The answer

The reason for closing the mosque before the rows are complete is unknown. The default ruling is that this is not permissible because it prevents worshippers from entering the mosque without right, and it contradicts the regarding completing the rows. The prayer of those outside is valid if they hear or see the Imam, or hear or see someone praying with him.
