Strive for higher levels of piety and abstinence even if something may be permissible according to Islamic law .

This hadith discusses the issue of intimacy between a husband and wife during the wife's menstruation. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that it is permissible for a man to do certain activities with his wife when she is menstruating, such as what is above the waist wrapper. However, he also suggested that it would be better to abstain from these activities. This hadith teaches us that although certain actions are allowed in Islam, we should still strive for higher levels of piety and abstinence even if something may be permissible. We should always strive for excellence in our faith and practice self control even when we are allowed to do something according to Islamic law.
