Summary
Congregational prayer held outside the mosque still earns the reward of congregational prayer according to the hadith, as long as there is at least one imam and one follower. This includes a husband praying with his wife or a congregation at a rest stop. However, praying in congregation at the mosque is better and more virtuous, as it better fulfils the purpose of the congregation, which is to foster affection and unity among Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, jika solat jemaah didirikan selain daripada masjid maka ia tetap mendapat pahala berjemaah berdasarkan hadis.
