The answer

It is out of Allah's mercy to His servants that He has permitted good things and forbidden evil ones. Thus, everything He has permitted is good and beneficial, and everything He has forbidden is evil and harmful. Allah has not forbidden anything without compensating for it with something better. So, whoever feels tempted by something forbidden, let him refrain, for good things suffice him. And the Muslim should direct his family and relatives to what Allah has permitted for them, thereby making them independent of other things, because Allah has the ultimate argument against His servants, and He has not forbidden anything except that He has, by His grace and mercy, made them independent of it.
