When a small courtyard is breached into a large one, may worshippers in each count together?
Synopsis
When a small courtyard is fully breached into a large one (the entire shared wall fell), the small is 'drawn after' the large. If nine are in the large and one in the small, they join; but nine in the small and one in the large, or five in each, they do not join.
