Is it disliked to pray if the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) is standing higher than the imam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If the ma'mum is the one who is higher, is it disliked?

Answer : No, it is not disliked. If the imam is the one in the lower position, for example in a private room, and there are people praying above him, there is no harm and nothing wrong with it.
