The ruling on ordering a mosque with a smaller congregation to join another

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If there are two mosques in the neighborhood, Shaykh, one of which has a larger congregation, do we order the mosque with the smaller congregation to join the mosque with the larger congregation?

Answer : No, we do not order them to do so, except in a rare case, such as if this mosque has only four or five people, while the other has many, and it is not difficult for them. But if it is difficult, no.
