What is the ruling when a woman and her husband disagree on a jurisprudential opinion?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Here is a question.
Bring May, O Umm al-Fadl.
If a woman disagrees with her husband on a jurisprudential opinion, such as traveling without a mahram; she thinks that Makkah—apparently, at first glance—is not travel, while he thinks that Makkah is not travel, and she thinks it is travel; is he allowed to force her to accept his jurisprudential opinion?
Generally, the answer is:[An-Nisa 4:34], so in such a matter, the opinion of one of the spouses must be implemented; it is necessary that the opinion of one of the two, either the husband or the wife, be carried out. There is no doubt and no ambiguity that, as long as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has made it obligatory for the woman to obey him, her opinion is not considered in this situation, and she must obey him. However, before that, they should try to agree and consult with each other. If the matter reaches the point about which the question was asked, the answer is that she must obey him and not contradict him.

Generally, the answer is:
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other
الرجال قوامون على النساء بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعض
