Is it sufficient to perform Friday prayer in the small village mosque, which is half an hour away from the large village mosque?

It is not permissible to have multiple Friday prayers in one town, unless the town is large and it is difficult for its inhabitants to gather in a single mosque due to long distances, or the mosque being too small for the worshippers, or fear of sedition. If none of these excuses exist, then it is not permissible to establish another Friday prayer, and one must pray with the people of the village in their جامع (main/grand) mosque.
