Does a woman receive the reward of the congregation if her husband prays with her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the congregation (jama'ah) become valid with a woman? For example, if a man prays with only his wife, does the man receive the reward of the congregation?

Answer:
No, but the following (mutaba'ah) applies: the woman receives the reward of following. Otherwise, the minimum number required to establish a congregation is two adult males, or even if one of them is not an adult, provided they are male. Yes.
