The questioner : If they ... have one barrier and they are a group, who takes it?
The Shaykh : Who is it for? Who does it belong to?
The questioner : ... and they found a barrier sufficient for one person.
The Shaykh : Who found it? They all went for it together ... one, in any case, if the barrier belongs to one of them, it is obligatory for him to pray with it alone, and is it permissible for him to cover himself with it for another?
The questioner : No, it is not permissible.
The Shaykh : We have previously mentioned in the rule of preferring others that preferring others in an obligatory act is not permissible, so its owner covers himself with it, and then after that.
The questioner : He gives it.
The Shaykh : No, its owner does not cover himself with it, whether he is the imam or the one praying behind him, and then he gives it if they have not all prayed, he gives it to whoever he wishes, and if he gives it to all of them, he draws lots among them, and whoever draws the lot takes it, yes.
