The Ruling on Destroying Means of Sin in the House of a Divorced Woman

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a woman asking. She says: I am a divorced woman, and I am looking after my sons and daughters in my home. The problem is that they do not listen to my advice not to listen to songs or read useless magazines. Please advise me in this matter: should I use force and strictness with them, or should I continue advising them and making du'a for their guidance? Should I destroy these magazines and tapes, or what should I do to clear my conscience?

Answer:
The house is your house, and they are under your authority and care. So remove these things from your house, and let there be nothing in your house from the means of sin. Remove them and destroy them. You have authority over your house. Yes, no one disputes your authority over your house. If they are young, you have authority over them. If they are grown, they should separate into another house and stay away from you. Yes.
