A concession to protect oneself against destruction.

It is lawful to protect oneself with taking precaution against them in prudence.

And whoever [of you] does that has nothing [i.e., no association] with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence.1 And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination. }
