Summary
The Friday prayer is obligatory and must be performed in congregation, so it is subject to the conditions for a valid congregational prayer. The follower must know the imam's movements, and the imam and followers must gather in one place, either inside a mosque or outside it within about 300 cubits and without obstruction. According to the view cited in this ruling together with the majority of scholars, knowing the imam's movements alone is not sufficient without gathering in one place.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami ingin menegaskan bahawa kewajipan solat Jumaat hendaklah ditunaikan secara berjemaah.
