Money deposited using an ATM not reflecting in one's account
Q: I would like to ask a question regarding the haraam riba banks. If for example a person deposited halaal money R100 into his account and lets say he used the ATM to deposit it. The bank lost it and did not credit him for it. Will this person when counting his halaal money that he put in so far, will this person still regard it as from his halaal money or should he not consider it at all? The next question is what happens if a bank subtracts money from your account unjustly for no reason at all, will I regard that subtraction from my halaal money or must I subtract it from the haraam interest money? I know interest is haraam and I'm trying to get rid of this haraam interest money.
Purchasing a tupperware package
Q: Is it permissible for a person to purchase a package while not having full knowledge of its contents? Also, there won't be any future disputes since both parties are happy with the sale. For e.g. The company "Tupperware" usually holds a sale once a year where you purchase a 'tupperware package', not knowing the exact quantity or type of tupperwares inside it, but the case is such that whatever you get will definitely satisfy you and turn out cheaper than the normal market value. Hence there is no question of disputes thereafter. Is such a sale permissible?
