Part of completing the call is that when one mentions the forbidden door, he should mention the open, permissible door.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And praise be to Allah, there is nothing forbidden except that the permissible is more numerous than it and many times over. So people need to be reminded, because this is also one of the ways that, although it is outside the scope of the lesson, the speech is... some of it is related to some of it. Some people say to people, for example, admonishing them or guiding them, they say: "This is forbidden and not permissible," but they do not open a door for them to walk through. This is contrary to the correct call. We mentioned that when a person mentions the forbidden door to people, it is part of completing the call and reform to mention the open, permissible door for them. And we said that this is what the Book and the Sunnah indicated. Indeed, in the Qur'an, Allah the Exalted says:
O you who have believed, say not [to Allah 's Messenger], "Ra'ina" يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تقولوا راعِنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:104]
This is forbidden, but
And say "Unzurna" وقولوا انظرنا
they opened a door for them. And in the Sunnah, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Bilal:
Sell the mixed grain for dirhams بع الجمْعَ بالدَّرَاهم
This is, in fact, a deficiency in the call. Good.
The student: ....

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, this is a verbal coincidence. May Allah reward you. Correct, so it would be in it... People now, the common folk, sometimes exaggerate. They exaggerate. Our Shaykh, 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di, told us that a man was asked: "What if... meaning a large house..." He said: "I seek refuge in Allah." Meaning, sometimes the common folk exaggerate.
