Is it obligatory to obey the prince in travel?

Question : Here is a question that is frequently asked. If the people are ordered by one of their leaders during travel, is it obligatory for them to obey him?

Answer : The answer is yes, it is obligatory for them to obey him. If we did not say that, there would be no benefit in appointing him as leader. However, his obedience is required in matters related to travel, in the affairs of travel, not in everything. As for a matter that is not related to the affairs of travel, it is not permissible to oppose him in it. For example, if the leader of the travel says today, "Each of you should wear two garments, because the weather will be cold." In this case, you do not disobey him, but it is not permissible to oppose him in the sense that it is not permissible for anyone to say, "I will not wear two garments," because merely opposing the rulers is considered a sin.
