The answer

It is permissible for you to pray in congregation in the aforementioned situation. There is no impediment if some of the congregants are on the ground and others on a bed, as this does not invalidate the prayer. The jurists disliked the Imam's or the congregant's position being higher than the other's, though some said there is no dislike when there is a need for it. Prayer on a bed is permissible.
