Question:
He says: I want to give a gift to a Muslim man, a recording device with religious tapes, but I fear that he will use this device to listen to songs and music. Is it permissible for me to give him this recorder?
Answer:
If you give it to him with this intention, and you are rewarded, if Allah wills. If he acts in a bad way, the responsibility is on him. You have done what is required of you, guided him in the correct direction, and gave him the recorder and the good tapes. If he goes astray, the harm is on him. Yes,[Al-Qasas 28:56]. Yes.
