Can one remove from a kohen, money that he grabbed after someone redeemed a safek peter chamor? Why do we not count two days during sefira, because of safek yoma, in the diaspora? Why do we not refrain from melacha for two days of safek Yom Kipur? Do we learn a mitzvah l'doros from a ho'raas sha'ah?
