Q: Is the new practice of reading Surah Kahf and durood on Fridays from the Mimbar, via the mic, acceptable?

Q: The masjid in our area is fairly new. We have, for Jumu'ah, about just over a dozen musallis. It is a mixed congregation of Shaafi and Hanafi. Our imaam for Salaah passed away in September. Since then, while we are looking into appointing a new Imaam, we have invited other Ulama to conduct Jumuah.
The last imam who came, informed us that our Jumuah is problematic as per Imam Shaafi, there should be at least 40 men.
Is it correct? Or can we continue with Jumuah Salaah?
Q: Should one reply to the second azaan before the jumuah khutbah?
