Is it permissible to sell Western music discs that a person bought for his previous work as a "DJ" in Paris, given the concern about wasting them by destroying them or bothering people by selling them?

Listening to music is Haram (forbidden), based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "There will be people from my Ummah (nation) who will consider unlawful sexual intercourse, silk, intoxicants, and musical instruments to be lawful." The scholars have reached a consensus on its prohibition. Therefore, it is not permissible to sell discs containing music to a Muslim or a non-believer, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." These discs must be destroyed, or something permissible should be recorded on them if possible.
