Question
On Purim that falls on Friday, such as in walled cities, if they did not manage to read the Megillah before Shabbat began, is it permissible to read the Megillah, or since it was decreed to prohibit reading the Megillah on Shabbat lest one carry it four cubits, is it also prohibited in this case?
Answer
The Megillah should be read without a blessing.
