What is the ruling on disagreeing about the details of a trip, and must we defer to the word of Allah Almighty: "And in whatsoever you differ, the ruling thereof is with Allah. Such is Allah, my Lord; in Him I put my trust, and to Him I return"?

The basic principle is that a Muslim should be keen on the gathering of his brothers and colleagues and strive to reconcile between them. If it is not possible to reconcile their opinions and the matter is neither an obligation nor a prohibition, then the opinion of the people of jurisprudence and worship should be adopted. The feelings of those who are not pleased should be appeased with an apology and kind words. This is indicated by the Hadith of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if an matter befalls us for which there is no clear command or prohibition, what do you command us to do?' He said, 'Consult the jurists and the worshipers about it, and do not act upon the opinion of a single person.'"
