We are young men who left praying in a mosque that has a shrine to a close friend of Allah in its wall, where acts of religious innovation and associating partners with Allah are performed, and women visit this close friend of Allah, so we established a prayer place

The questioner : They say: We are young men who left praying in this mosque because it is a place where acts of religious innovation and acts of associating partners with Allah are practiced, and women visit this close friend of Allah, so we established a prayer place in the open desert and we perform the prayers there. Is this action permissible, and is our prayer valid in this prayer place in the heat, the cold, and moderate weather? And one of the students of knowledge told us that your prayer in this prayer place is equivalent to fifty prayers?
The Shaykh : Your action is permissible, and in fact it is obligatory if your attendance at the congregation involves things that are wrong. If you pray in a mosque that is free from these wrongs, that is better.
As for you having the reward of fifty, that was only reported regarding a man who is alone in the open desert, so he prays, calls the adhan, calls the iqamah, and prays. But you are a congregation.
