It is permissible to relocate the mosque provided that the Muslim neighbors agree, and the opinion of those close to the mosque is taken into consideration. If the new mosque will benefit a greater number of Muslims, the old mosque should be left and a new one built. If building a new one is not possible, the old one should be left so as not to harm its neighbors.
