The reciter: Chapter: If the people disperse from the imam during the Friday prayer, the prayer of the imam and those who remain is valid.
The Shaykh : His statement (may Allah have mercy on him): "the prayer of the imam and those who remain" — "those who remain" includes even if only two men remain with him; indeed, the apparent meaning of his words (may Allah have mercy on him) is that it is valid even if only one remains.
As for the one who says: If fewer than forty remain with him, the prayer is not valid, or if fewer than twelve remain, it is not valid — there is a problem with that. Rather, if a group remains with him, the Friday prayer is valid for them, even if it is only two, and he is the third who prays it as a Friday prayer. Yes.
