In my country, some mosques perform the Friday prayer twice because the mosque cannot accommodate the worshippers. Is this permissible?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In my country, some mosques perform the Friday prayer twice because the mosque is small, and there is no place for the Muslims other than this one. Is this permissible?

Answer:
By Allah, this is problematic. I mean, this is problematic. They should set up a place, if it is not in this location, they set up a second place in the town where they pray. They divide into two groups; they move away from this location and set up a second place. Either they rent it or they find a way for it. Yes. Either they are confined to one location and they repeat the prayer in it. This does not appear to me to be permissible. Yes.
