Is it permissible for school students to pray in congregation, since if they pray in the mosque they will miss one or two rak'ahs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We are a group of teachers. When the class time ends, the time for prayer has already entered a while ago. If we go out to pray in the mosque, we miss one or two rak'ahs, and sometimes the entire prayer. So, is it better for us to pray in congregation at the school to attain the virtue of the congregation from the beginning, or should we go out to the mosque even if we miss part of the prayer?

Answer:
It is all permissible. Whether you pray in the school together, or you go out and pray in the nearby mosques, even if you miss part of the prayer, there is no harm in that. It is all permissible, and praise be to Allah. The important thing is that you pray in congregation, whether in the mosque, outside, in the mosque, or in the circle; you pray in congregation. Yes.
