Is it permissible to revive a small mosque with the adhan and prayer, when there is a congregational mosque nearby?

Question:
He says: In our village, there are two mosques. The people used to pray in the congregational mosque and left this small mosque, with no one praying in it. I wanted to revive this mosque by establishing prayer and the adhan in it, so we started praying there, praise be to Allah. But after about two months, the imam of the congregational mosque told me that I had divided the congregation. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the hand of Allah is with the congregation, . Honorable Shaykh, does this hadith apply to me? Or am I rewarded, having exerted myself in reviving that mosque? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
What is required is gathering and the Muslims being one congregation in one mosque. It is only permissible to have multiple mosques if there is a pressing need for it, such as the neighborhoods being far apart and it being difficult for some of the people in the neighborhoods to go to the distant mosque. In that case, there is no harm in them having a mosque near their houses where they pray. However, if the neighborhoods are close together or if it is one neighborhood, they must pray in one mosque and not divide. If this mosque you mentioned is close to the mosque where the general public pray, and this mosque is no longer needed, then you must pray with the people in the mosque where the aforementioned imam is. Since this mosque is no longer needed, the Sharia court should look into its status, either by selling it and spending its price on another mosque, or by other Sharia considerations. Yes.
