The answer

There is no sin in someone taking a narration without your knowledge or permission. Nor is it forbidden to benefit from what is permissible out of fear that it might be used unknowingly for something forbidden. However, if you fear the narration's influence on your children, place it where their hands cannot reach it. We have already cautioned that it is preferable to disregard such narrations.
