What is your opinion regarding the proliferation of mosque construction in a single neighborhood?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Perfection.

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, what is your opinion regarding the excessive construction of mosques, for example, in a single neighborhood or area?

The Shaykh : Our opinion is what the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned: it is forbidden to build a mosque that harms the nearby mosque by dispersing its congregation, and the second one must be demolished. Yes.
