Does the Friday prayer become valid with fewer than forty people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does it become valid with fewer than forty?

Answer:
Yes, there is no evidence specifying the number forty. There is no fixed number for the Friday prayer. The correct view is that if the congregation is valid, the Friday prayer is valid with them, and the minimum for that is three: two who listen and one who delivers the sermon. Yes.
