Is a congregation of forty sufficient for performing the Eid prayer in a village?

The questioner : He says: We live in a village with about forty men who pray. We perform the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer in our village mosque. A person of good will has built a prayer hall for Eid, and we want to perform the Eid prayer there. However, some people objected to us because of the small number. Is our number sufficient to perform the Eid prayer? And what is your advice to us?

The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, the number is sufficient for the Friday prayer but not for the Eid prayer? This is strange, but in any case, a person who does not know or understand might say that the Friday prayer is performed but the Eid prayer is not. My answer to this question is to say: Pray in this prayer hall that you have prepared for the Eid prayer, even if your number is ten, because whenever the Friday prayer is established, the Eid prayer follows it.
After this, we say: Establish the Eid prayer. Then, these matters, our brothers, are governed by specific authorities. Who is in charge of mosque affairs in Saudi Arabia? The Ministry of Islamic Affairs. It has administrations in every place. In fact, one refers to the administration regarding the establishment of the Friday prayer and the establishment of the Eid prayer. I have heard my words now; I hope you will refer to the ministry.
