Is it permissible to travel with one's husband on a cruise that involves sins and forbidden acts, knowing that the husband asked his wife to accompany him so he would not fall into haram, and threatened to go alone if she did not accompany him?
A wife must obey her husband by moving with him from one place to another, unless there is a legitimate impediment. If the husband's travel involves disobedience [to Allah], she is still obliged to obey him, unless she is being called to an act of disobedience herself. However, if her travel with him necessitates her falling into disobedience, then she is not obliged to obey him; rather, it is impermissible, for there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. If it is possible to avoid seeing and hearing evil during the journey, then no sin is incurred by the wife.
