The husband is travelling. Which wife should he take?

Jika suami hendak membawa seorang isteri sahaja dalam musafir, caranya ialah dengan mengundi antara isteri-isteri.
Aisyah r.a. meriwayatkan bahawa apabila Nabi ﷺ hendak bermusafir, baginda mengundi antara isteri-isterinya, dan sesiapa yang keluar undiannya, baginda membawanya bersama (Sahih al-Bukhari 2593). Menurut mazhab Syafi'i, jika isteri dibawa melalui undian, tempoh musafir itu tidak perlu diganti kepada isteri-isteri yang tinggal. Undian boleh digantikan dengan persetujuan semua isteri, contohnya jika mereka reda seorang isteri tertentu ikut kerana keperluan. Cara ini menutup ruang rasa pilih kasih. Lihat Fiqh poligami.
Differences between the schools. Shafi'i and Hanbali require drawing lots (or agreement); Hanafi and some Maliki scholars regard lots as recommended to preserve feelings, not obligatory.
