The ruling on having multiple congregations in one place

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are two congregations, each praying in a separate location, and they are in the same city. Is the prayer valid? Yes. There are two congregations, each praying in a separate location or in the same city. Is their prayer valid?

Answer:
It depends on the need. If it is not possible for them to gather in one building and pray together, and the need and necessity require that they divide up, with each praying in a different building, then there is no objection, because this is a necessity. However, if the place is spacious and it is possible for them to gather in one building or in one place, then it is not permissible to separate into multiple congregations. Yes.
