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?

Q: 

1. If a woman got raped by a man and it's proven Islamically, would she also be punished? If not then what would be the punishment of the man. 

2. Does Islam recognize the concept of woman raping a man, for example if she tied his limbs and had intercourse with him. And it was proven that it did happen. Will the man be punished as well? If not then what will be the punishment for the woman?

Q: If there is 20l of water and a person submerges their hand in the bucket, does the water became unsuitable for istinja and wudhu?

Q: A person’s parents bought and gifted him a car. The car is under insurance. This person does not want the insurance and told his parents to take it out. His parents do not want to remove the insurance. 

1. Is it permissible for him to use and drive the car? 

2. If he meets in an accident and the insurance pays for the damages of the car and the car gets fixed, will it be permissible to drive the car after it has been fixed. This person does not want the insurance and he told his parents to remove it but they don’t want to.

Q: Please assist in the scenario below: 

I went for a tooth extraction at 16H15 (Asr time sets in at 16H00 but I had not yet performed Asr). Just before Asr time ended I made Wudhu and prayed Asr with blood still coming out. The blood stopped during the time of Maghrib, so Maghrib Salah was no issue. 

My question is if I have to repeat Asr as I was not yet a Mazoor (as the bleeding was not found for a complete Salaah time) but I had to pray Asr with my mouth bleeding as time was running out.

Q: Was our Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) instructed by the other prophets he met during me'raj to inform the people to do cupping?
