Explanation of the author's statement: "…then whoever the neighbors choose, then a drawing of lots…"

The Shaykh :"Then whoever the neighbors choose" Who are the neighbors? The neighbors of the mosque, meaning the people of the district. If two men step forward and we find that they are equal in what concerns the adhan, equal in religion and intellect, we refer to whoever the neighbors choose. But if someone asks, "When will we find a mu'adhdhin whom the neighbors agree to choose, as the apparent meaning of the phrase 'the neighbors' indicates?" we say: if it is difficult for them to reach consensus on choosing him, we take the opinion of the majority. We take the opinion of the majority, because it is rare to find a man on whom people agree to choose. So we take the opinion of the majority. The apparent meaning of the author's words is that the choice of the person in charge of mosque affairs is not considered, because the adhan is for the people of the district, and they are the ones responsible for choosing the mu'adhdhin. But there is a consideration in this; indeed, we say that the person in charge of mosque affairs must have a say in this, because he is the one responsible. Therefore, when a mu'adhdhin commits a lapse, to whom do we refer? To the person in charge of mosque affairs. So it is necessary to consider the person in charge of mosque affairs in this choice. Then the author said, "Then a drawing of lots" If all qualities are equal and no preference is established by the neighbors, or if the preferences are equal, then we resort to a drawing of lots, because a drawing of lots distinguishes the ambiguous and clarifies the general. And a drawing of lots has come in the Qur'an and in the Sunnah. In the Qur'an, Allah the Exalted said: And Allah the Exalted said: As for the Sunnah, it has come in several hadiths, among them the hadith of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: And because a drawing of lots resolves disputes and conflicts, it is a prescribed path. But how do we draw lots? We say: any quality or any method by which we draw lots is permissible, because it has no prescribed description or prescribed method. So any quality or method on which they agree for the drawing of lots is permissible.
