Question:
How many people are required to hold the Friday prayer, and what are the recommended practices for one who wishes to deliver the Friday sermon if they are in a village?

Answer:
Answer: The correct view is that the Friday prayer is established by the same conditions that establish the congregational prayer, as there is no evidence specifying a number for the Friday prayer. Thus, it is established by the same conditions that establish the congregational prayer: one person delivers the sermon and two listen, meaning three people. The minimum is three; this is the correct view among the scholars.
