Is it better for travelers to pray in congregation or individually?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question. May you live long. The second question: We prayed in one of the sister countries, the Gulf states, and the people who were praying finished their prayer, so we recited the prayer and asked about the congregation. One person came and separated us, saying, "This one goes right and this one goes left; go, each of you pray for yourself. You have no prayer like this." And we, meaning we are always on the lines and on the roads, we always try to form a congregation and pray in congregation. Why does he separate us? Thank you, thank you. May you live long.

Answer:
What does he say? What is the question? They are praying in one of the mosques in congregation for shortening and combining because they are traveling, so one person came and separated them, telling them, "Each of you pray for yourself." This is an ignorant person, this is an ignorant person, and this is not permissible for him. Separating the congregation is not permissible; the congregation is obligatory. How can he separate them? Yes.
