Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on what some shop owners do, where they weigh the food together with the container they put the food in? And is it better to weigh the food by itself and then put it in the container afterwards?
Answer:
No, the rule is that he weighs the container before he weighs the container and knows its weight, then he fills it with food and weighs it. When the weight is known, he subtracts the weight of the container from it. He subtracts the weight of the container that he knew. Yes.
