Agreement on rotation during travel instead of drawing lots

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the wives of a man agree to something other than drawing lots during travel, such as agreeing to rotate among themselves, is this permissible, or is drawing lots necessary?

Answer:
No, this is not possible. This is impossible. Drawing lots is necessary. Yes.
