Exegesis
The Greek hina {ἵνα | hína} + mē {μὴ | mē} + subjunctive clause introduces purpose, explaining why Jesus provides these instructions: so that “we do not cause to stumble.”
In context — Matthew 17:27
But so that we do not cause them to stumble , go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. When you open its mouth, you will find a stater. Take it and give it to them for Me and you.
