The answer

Establishing the Friday prayer is obligatory upon Muslims. The Friday prayer is valid with three or more individuals, and a specific number is not a condition for its validity. The correct view among scholars is that it is not permissible for someone upon whom it is obligatory to pray it as Dhuhr (noon prayer) under the pretext of the number being less than forty.
