The answer

There is no harm in purchasing a place to be adopted as a new mosque if there is a need for it, such as the need to expand space for Muslims and protect them from places of corruption, or due to the lack of sufficient space for women or a school for children in the existing mosque, or if there is no intention to harm the first mosque.

Prohibition applies to building a mosque next to another mosque with the intention of causing harm, or without need. The correct view is that if there is no need, building a nearby mosque is prohibited, even if harm is not intended.
