Performing jamaat salaah on the 1st or 2nd floor of a masjid

Q: I read the Q&A related to performing jamaat salaah in a hotel in Al Haram, at http://muftionline.co.za/node/13093 and http://muftionline.co.za/node/25791 and http://muftionline.co.za/node/27480

In Pakistan, many masjids have 1st floor and few have 2nd floors as well. Please enlighten me that performing jamaat salaah on 1st and 2nd floor is valid or not?

A: It is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
