Making up the nights of travel for the other wives after the drawing of lots

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man draws lots among his wives while traveling and travels with the one for whom the lot was drawn for a week, for example, when he returns, is it obligatory for him to make up those nights for the others?

Answer:
No. It is not obligatory for him to do so, because the drawing of lots selected the other wives. Yes.
