    $("a[data-toggle='tab'").each(function () {
        $(this).prop('data-href', $(this).attr('href')); // hold you original href

    $("a[data-toggle='tab'").addClass('disabled-link');
}
else
{

    $("a[data-toggle='tab'").each(function () {
        $(this).attr('href', $(this).prop('data-href')); // restore original href
    });
    $("a[data-toggle='tab'").removeClass('disabled-link');
}
// if you want to show extra messages that the tab is disabled for a reason
$("a[data-toggle='tab'").click(function(){
   alert('Tab is disabled for a reason');
});
