The questioner : A group went out to the desert and they did not have enough water for their ritual purity, and they all share it. What should they do?
The Shaykh : Yes, they should draw lots for it. It is necessary to use the drawing of lots because of the situation here. Did you hear his question? He said a group shares water, and the water is not enough for everyone to perform ritual purity with, so what should they do? If one of them preferred the other, we would say that preferring the other in an obligatory matter is not permissible. So, all that remains for us is the drawing of lots.
