The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman who says: I am a sick and tired woman, I have children, and I have a worker who takes care of my affairs and my children's affairs.
The Shaykh:
Sick. A sick and tired woman, I have children, and I have a worker who takes care of my affairs and my children's affairs, and I can never do without her. My husband wants to travel to his relatives, but he objects to taking her with us on the grounds of the lack of a mahram. Knowing that her husband works here in Riyadh, and my need for her while traveling is greater than while staying, is it permissible for us, Honorable Shaykh, to take her without a mahram, or is it permissible for me? Her husband, take her husband with you, as long as he is present, take him with you. Yes.
The questioner:
And if my husband refuses, is it permissible for me not to travel with him? And would I be sinful by not traveling with him?
The Shaykh:
If you are unable to travel with him, you are excused. You are sick and unable to travel, you are excused. But if you are able to travel, it is not permissible for you to disobey him.
