From Purification Without Water

فلما حل الهدم بودي سارة منع الولدان يجوز،

When the ruin befell Sarah’s town, children were no longer allowed to pass.

يَجُوزُ to pass

A present-tense verb meaning 'to pass / be allowed to pass', its 'he/it' subject built in, completing what the children were forbidden. After a verb of forbidding, this present-tense verb names the action that was barred, so it spells out exactly what they could no longer do.

When destruction befell Sarah's household, preventing the two sons was permissible.

يَجُوزُ is permissible

A present-tense verb 'is permissible', with the implicit 'it' subject being the act of preventing. It delivers the verdict of the sentence, that withholding the two sons was allowed once the calamity struck; it closes the conditional set up by 'when'.
