There is no harm in praying between columns and pillars if the mosque becomes crowded with worshipers. As for praying in a separate room outside the mosque while hearing the Imam's voice without seeing him or the worshipers, or in a place outside the mosque while seeing the Imam or the worshipers, the differing views of scholars on this matter have been previously elaborated upon.
