The question

Do congregational prayers while traveling, or praying in the school mosque half an hour after its prescribed time, or completing one's prayer individually after one's ablution is nullified, fall under the hadith: "Whoever prays to Allah for forty days in congregation, catching the first Takbir, will have two immunities written for him: immunity from Hellfire and immunity from hypocrisy"?

The answer

Some scholars have deemed this to be (good), and the condition for attaining the virtue mentioned therein is the continuity of the days. It is not a condition to pray in the congregational prayer of the mosque; rather, it is attained by anyone who catches the first takbir in any congregation.

Thus, praying in the school with the congregation will earn one the virtue if one catches the first takbir. And combining two prayers during travel does not negate the virtue if one catches the first takbir in both of them.

If one's wudu is nullified, one should seek out a congregation to catch the takbirat al-; otherwise, the virtue will be lost, even if one receives the reward for the intention.
