Is it permissible for a husband to forbid his wife from traveling and tourism, citing the presence of corruption, while he himself regularly travels for tourism and prevents his family from even going on outings within Saudi Arabia?
It is forbidden to travel to countries of disbelief and immorality for tourism. This ruling applies to both men and women equally, as a wife accompanying her husband reduces his exposure to temptations. It is advised to opt for domestic tourism due to the availability of suitable places for committed families, or to travel between governorates to visit relatives, or to perform . If the husband insists on traveling, the wife is not permitted to request to travel with him, especially if he has made her divorce conditional on her travel. This conditional divorce will occur if she travels, and the husband cannot revoke it after its occurrence.
