Hadith on Utensils: Wash vessels of unbelievers if they eat pork, drink wine

Abu Tha’labah reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, we live in a land of the people of the Book. Can we eat from their utensils?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do not eat from them unless you cannot find anything else, then wash them and eat from them.”

Al-Nawawi said, “The meaning of utensils in the narration of Abu Tha’labah are those in which is cooked the meat of swine, or from which wine is drank.”

عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الخُشَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ قَومٍ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ أَفَنَأْكُلُ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ قَالَ لاَ تَأكُلُوا فِيهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ لاَ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا فَاغْسِلُوهَا وَكُلُوا فِيهَا
