Selling an item to someone not knowing whether they will use it for something impermissible

Q: 

1. Would it be halal for me to sell gold to a cash for gold place because there is a high chance they will sell this gold to a refiner, scrap gold buyer or so on and they might use this gold to make gold jewellery for men etc.? 

2. What about selling grapes to a business that sell grape related products so the grapes I sell to them can be used to make their grape juice or it can be used for their wine etc. Will the income be haram? Because I’m unsure what they will use it for.

A: 

1. Yes, it is permissible for you to sell your gold to them for cash. Since it is not known with certainty to whom they will sell your gold - to a man or to a woman - you do not have to pay attention to this doubt. 

2. As above.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
