Dought and clear, - What to do With Forbidden Items After Repentance.

I have repented. But in my possession are some forbidden things such
asmusical instruments, cassettes, films etc. Is it permissible for me
to sell them, particularly since they are worth a large amount?
Praise be to Allah.
Sale of such banned articles is not permissible in Islam. The Prophet
(peace be upon him) said: "When Allah forbids a thing then He forbids
its price (as well)." (i.e., its sale/purchase/trading.) [Abu Dawood,
and it is authentic] Also you know well that whomever you sell it to
will use it in a forbidden act; thus, it is not permissible for you to
sell it to him as Allah has prohibited this in commanding us (in
meaning): 'do not assist one another in sins and enmity'.
And no matter how much you lose in worldlywealth, have faith that what
is in store with Allah is worthier and longer lasting. He will
compensate you with Hisgrace, and His favor and His generosity.
And Allah knows best.
