Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the Friday sermon for an imam who preaches to five worshippers?

Answer:
Yes, the correct view is that there is no minimum number for the Friday prayer. The Friday prayer is valid with three or more people: one who preaches and two who listen. The more people there are, the better. This is the correct view. Yes.
