What is the ruling on congregational prayer in a resting place instead of the mosque upon hearing the call, and is the call via loudspeaker from a distant mosque considered a basis for obligatory congregational prayer, or is what matters the estimation of the call without a loudspeaker?

There is no objection to praying in the resting place — especially if going to the place of the call is difficult — and by doing so, the virtue of congregational prayer is attained, because going to the mosque is not obligatory except for those who are not already in a congregation. Prayer areas do not have the same ruling as mosques. The call that necessitates going to attain the virtue of congregational prayer is the regular that can be heard without a loudspeaker.
