Is it permissible to perform the Friday prayer more than once in a single mosque if one congregation is not sufficient due to the small size of the mosque?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from outside the country says: Is it permissible to perform the Friday prayer more than once in a single mosque if one congregation is not sufficient due to the small size of the mosque?

Answer:
Repeating the Friday prayer in one mosque is problematic, but they can expand this prayer area or go out from it into an open space where they can pray in a space that accommodates them, in a garden. If they make an effort, they will find a place where they can all pray one Friday prayer that is not repeated. Yes.
