Is the congregational prayer obligatory while traveling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the congregational prayer while traveling?

Answer:
The congregational prayer is obligatory both while traveling and while resident. It is obligatory for Muslims to pray in congregation whether they are traveling or resident. So, when the time for prayer arrives while they are traveling, they must pray in congregation, and they must also call the adhan and the iqamah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray in congregation while traveling, and he would call the adhan and the iqamah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the adhan and iqamah. So, the congregation is obligatory both while traveling and while resident. Yes.
