As pointed out by Bro. Maqbool at (47:35:2), the verb here should be

V – 2nd person masculine plural imperfect verb, jussive mood, since it follows (معطوف) the jussive verb tahinū.

However, it can also be taken as in subjunctive mood, if it is assumed that there is an implicit particle ( أَنْ) after the prefixed conjunction (wa) as "answer to the prohibition" (جواب النهي). (Ref: Bahjat, Vol 11, page 116)
