The Ruling on Drawing Lots Among Wives During Travel

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: It is reported in the biography of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to draw lots among his wives when traveling. My question is about the method, and whether, if the lot always falls on one wife, it is permissible for the man to take her with him and leave the others? In the message, the message. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.

Answer:
It is used in matters that cannot be known except by drawing lots. As for clear matters, or matters that are not important, drawing lots is not used for them. Drawing lots is only used for doubtful matters where the correct course is not known, if there is contention and crowding among those who have a right. As for specialists, there is crowding and contention. At that point, there is no way to distinguish. There is no right for him except by drawing lots. Together.
It is called al-Ishtirak (drawing lots) in the Qur'an. Al-Ishtirak, as Allah the Exalted said: meaning Yunus (peace be upon him). When the ship was on the verge of sinking, and it would not be saved except by throwing out the one who had committed a sin. A sin, and they did not know who it was? Who is this one upon whom this sin is, which made the best way to sinking because of him? So they drew lots, and it fell on the Prophet of Allah, Yunus (peace be upon him), so they threw him into the sea, in his well-known story which Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, mentioned. And likewise in the story of Maryam, when the Children of Israel disputed, her father had died while she was young, and her father was the Shaykh of the Children of Israel in his time and their scholar, so each of them wanted to hold this child, to be honored by her custody, meaning her upbringing, so they disputed over her, , so they used drawing lots, it came out for Zakariyya (peace and blessings be upon him), so Zakariyya took her in custody, or Zakariyya took her in custody according to the recitation, the lot came out for him. So he became the one with priority. The right.
This is from the wording of the Qur'an and its mention of drawing lots. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to draw lots, and that is when he wanted to travel, he would draw lots among his wives. So whichever one the lot came out for, he would travel with her. And this was his right (peace and blessings be upon him). Even if he loved some of his wives more than others, but his love for some of them, like Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), did not lead him to take her from among the women, from among the women. So he would draw lots, and if the lot came out for one of them, he would travel with her.
And likewise, the jurists mentioned that drawing lots is also used in prayer, even if he has a number of wives, four or three or two, and he divorced one of them and did not specify her name, he divorced one of them and did not specify her name, he forgot who she was, he forgot which one, or he died and did not specify, they used drawing lots, and the lot fell on her, the divorce fell on her, so drawing lots is a legal solution, and it also has fairness, among those who contend and those who have a right, and no one gets angry, and drawing lots is that the names of those who have a right are written, they are written on small pieces of paper, then they are placed in a bag or in something that hides them, then he puts his hand in and takes out one of these pieces of paper, so whoever his name comes out is the one who has the right. Even if the lot is repeated every time, meaning its coming out is repeated for a specific person, he says to you: I have a right. Yes.
