Scholars have differed regarding the number of adhans (calls to prayer) for Friday prayer.

However, Al-Shafi'i held that only one adhan is preferable, which was the practice during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr, and 'Umar. The matter is broad, as both approaches are correct.
