Question

Is it possible for a man to lead in salah his female mahram family members? So can one man and one woman pray in congregation?

Is the presence of atleast 2 males necessary for congregational salah?

Answer

Yes.

One person behind the imaam is also a congregation.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
