Advice for one who rejects prayer in a newly built mosque

This is a letter received by the program from Ali Hadi Ali Ahmad al-Asiri, in which he says: We are a group in a village of about one hundred and fifty men. We used to pray in an old mosque in a place that is difficult to reach except with great difficulty, so those who are advanced in age cannot get to it. It is located in the neighborhood with the smallest number of residents in the village. A merchant volunteered to build a mosque in a crowded area that is easy to reach. When the construction was completed, the neighbors of the old mosque refused to pray in the new mosque, claiming that the new mosque is a religious innovation. What is the ruling if more people pray Friday prayer in the new mosque than in the old one? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: You must consult the judge of the town and the scholars in your town so that they can issue a ruling on this matter, or write to us so that we can look into the matter and send someone who knows the truth. In which town?
The presenter: The town was not mentioned, but it is from within the Kingdom.
The Shaykh: Yes, you, the questioner, must consult the judge of the town and refer the matter to him, and he will look into it, or write to us so that we can look into the matter through the scholars and through the judge. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
