The answer

If the number of adult male settlers in the village exceeds forty, or twelve (for Malikis), or four (for Hanafis), then Friday prayer becomes obligatory. Prayer behind the Imam is obligatory unless his disbelief is proven. If his polytheism is proven, then prayer behind him is not permissible, and another Imam must be appointed or a second Friday prayer established. Going to a distant mosque is not obligatory.
