If one sees an evil and gives its perpetrator a tape or a pamphlet, is his conscience absolved?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If one sees an evil and gives its perpetrator a tape or a pamphlet, is this considered forbidding evil with the tongue? And is his conscience absolved by doing such a thing?

Answer:
How does he know what the tape is? Perhaps he does not know what the tape is. You must make it clear to him and say, "My brother, this is a violation, and I am giving you this tape so that you may listen to it, and Allah willing, you will benefit from it." But if he just gives him the tape and stays silent, the person might delete the tape, or not benefit from it, or not care about it. If you make it clear to him first and then give him the tape so that he may benefit from it, that is fine. Yes.
