Question : Yes, yes.
Answer : Suppose this town expanded and the distance between its edges became miles, or a considerable distance. What is the ruling? It is one country, so it is obligatory for the one at its eastern edge just as it is obligatory for the one at its western edge. The Friday prayer is obligatory for the one at its eastern edge just as it is obligatory for the one at its western edge, and likewise for the north and the south, because it is one town.
