To what extent is the demand of some worshippers to return to the new mosque legitimate? Is it permissible for them to pray in the old mosque after a new, spacious, and ready mosque has been built, and what is the ruling on their five daily prayers and Friday prayer therein, given that the old mosque does not meet security and legal standards?

Disputes between Muslims must be resolved by referring to Islamic centers and the authorities entrusted with their resolution. The basic principle is for Muslims to gather for prayer in one mosque, especially for the Friday prayer. If the new mosque can accommodate the worshipers, then the Friday prayer should not be established elsewhere. As for the other five daily prayers, there is no harm in establishing them in more than one mosque, although it is more complete to perform them in one mosque. It is advisable to speak with gentleness and kindness and to call upon the brothers to unite their ranks and unify their word, cooperating in righteousness and piety, and not to contend with the mosque trustees. Rather, they should be advised if necessary, and it is wise for the mosque trustees to involve others in the management of mosque affairs to strengthen unity.
