The ruling on appointing three people in travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Is this obligatory? And what would take it out of being obligatory if it is not?
The Shaykh:
It appears to be obligatory, because if they disagree, who will settle the dispute between them? And to whom will they turn? So there must be an amir (leader) in travel.
The questioner:
Then, if a group gathers at a rest stop, for example, inside a town on a regular basis, does the ruling apply to them as well?
The Shaykh:
No, that is if it is for travel. If they are in a town, the amir is the amir of the town. If they disagree on something, they refer to the amir of the town.

If three travel, let them appoint one of them as their amir.
