The answer

Scholars unanimously agree that fulfilling a promise is recommended (mustahabb) and is one of the virtuous characteristics of a Muslim. Allah the Almighty has commanded His servants to fulfill their covenants, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) warned against breaking promises, considering it a characteristic of hypocrites. Therefore, you should fulfill what you promised your wife, as travel can be a means of resolving problems and fostering intimacy, especially if it is a journey for worship. We advise you to fulfill your promise to your wife, unless it involves great hardship.
