Q: Please advise me on how to go about this problem:
I smashed my brothers car so I decided to replace him with a very similar car. I saw the car in some pictures which was being sold by a reputable trustable person. After speaking to the seller on the phone I was happy with what he told me about the car. But the seller told me its better I first have a look at the car, drive the car then we will speak about method of payment. We agreed on a meeting point.
The seller drove for about 150km. My brother went to pick up the car and drove it for another 200km and as he entered the town before reaching home, the car broke down.
Am I responsible for the breakdown? Please advise on whats the way forward.

Q: I wanted to find out a fatwa regarding weights and measures in my business.
We are steel traders. We buy steel a certain thickness say 0.2mm but the factories that produce it can’t get the exact thickness due to the production process. So the thickness varies from 0.195 to 0.205mm, sometimes more sometimes less.
What is the ruling on this because we sell the product as 0.2mm. We sell as per the thickness that we order. We don’t order a lower thickness and sell as a higher thickness. This is purely a production tolerance level as the machines can never get it exact.
Q: Is guesswork and speculation considered kufr if one doesn't claim knowledge of the unseen?
Examples:
1. A call comes to the phone, I haven't looked at it, and I speculate it's surely x person with very much confidence and it turns out to be them. And I say "look I knew it"(meaning I am so smart that I guessed it correctly not claiming knowing unseen).
2. In multiple choice type questions choosing any of the answers blindly. Hoping you'd be correct. You don't know the correct answer and you choosing the answer was blind. Like betting.
3. Someone asks you to guess what's in their hand and you guess.
4. Saying a particular fictional story would probably end like the person is expecting.
In short, is speculation and guesswork in which you have strong confidence that you are right and the one in which you don't have it. Is it considered kufr?
