Summary
Providing and owning the Mobile Solat Sahabat, a mobile prayer room proposed by Sahabat Belia, is permissible. The Penang State Fatwa Committee suggested the name Mobile Musolla as better suited to its function. Congregational prayer inside it is valid on condition that the women's prayer area at the back has a passage reaching the front row, to satisfy the requirement of qudwah between imam and followers, and that this passage stays open throughout the prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
