Summary
Congregational prayer remains valid even when the mosque floor is uneven. The conditions are that the worshippers are still within the same mosque and are not prevented from seeing the imam's movements.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walaupun lantai tidak sama rata, ia masih berada dalam satu masjid dan jemaah tidak terhalang dari melihat pergerakan imam maka, sah solat berjemaah tersebut.
