Is there anything required of me if I break a tape containing songs without the owner's permission?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there anything required of me if I break a tape containing songs without the owner's permission, such as if I find it in a house or a car or elsewhere?

Answer:
That does not solve the problem. If you break it, it will go and bring back more than what was there. But you must first advise him and convince him to destroy the tape or erase it with another substance. As for breaking it, that may cause harm and may lead him to stubbornness. Yes. And you heard the poet say: with the easiest, with the easiest. Then after that, what is above the bottom, and so on. Yes.
