Question
Is it permissible to read the Megillah in Jerusalem and then travel to Bnei Brak in the middle of the night and be obligated to celebrate Purim in Bnei Brak [referring to a triple Purim]?
Answer
Hello,
In a situation where a person arrives from walled cities to unwalled cities during the night, there is a dispute whether he is obligated to celebrate Purim in the unwalled cities or not.
In this year, when everyone reads the Megillah on Friday, he can hear the Megillah in Jerusalem and fulfill the mitzvot of the day on Friday out of doubt.
However, to be certainly obligated in Purim, he must be in Jerusalem at the entrance of Shabbat. [If he stays in unwalled cities on Shabbat, it is possible that he is not obligated in Purim at all].
