May The Start Time Of Friday Prayer Be Postponed To Wait For More People To Arrive And Attend Congregation?

May the start time of Friday prayer be postponed to wait for more people to arrive and attend congregation?

The time of Friday prayer is that of dhuhr prayer (Mawsili, al-Ikhtiyar, I, 274). Friday prayer is valid as long as it is established within the prescribed time for dhuhr prayer. Although establishing prayers at the beginning of prayer times is more virtuous, it is also permissible to postpone it a while in order to establish it with more people.

Accordingly, it is permissible to perform Friday prayer in an hour when attendance will be more
