The answer

One must go to Friday prayer if they are outside the town where the Friday prayer is held, provided the distance is a farsakh or less (more than 5 kilometers). As for the residents of the city, they must strive to attend it even if they are far away. Therefore, you must go to the mosque where the Friday prayer is held as long as it is in the same city as you, especially since it is only 4 kilometers away from you.
