The Limits of a Wife's Obedience to Her Husband
Is it permissible for a man to force his wife to travel under the current circumstances to a country where an epidemic is spreading, knowing that this travel requires staying in airports for 20 hours and necessitates wearing a mask for the entire duration, while the wife has lung diseases, which could pose a risk to her health?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for a husband to force his wife to travel except with her consent, especially in the mentioned situation due to the risks it poses to her. She should involve wise and virtuous people in the matter to avoid causing a problem between them. And God knows best.
