Ruling on Eating in Doubtful Utensils
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A question from: Dr. [Name] from America, in which he says: It is reported in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating in the utensils of the People of the Book, except in a state of dire necessity; this is because they may eat pork in them and drink intoxicants in them. My question is: Does this ruling apply to the utensils of a Muslim who drinks intoxicants in them? And is it permissible to perform ablution in them? May Allah reward you with good.
A: In the name of Allah, and all praise is due to Allah.
If there is a fear that there is intoxicant in these utensils, or traces of pork, then he must wash them if he needs them, and then eat from them. If he does not need them, then praise be to Allah. Any utensil in which there is a fear of ritual impurity, whether it belongs to disbelievers or non-disbelievers, should be washed and eaten from, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30:150. Likewise, there is no blame on performing ablution in them after washing them.

Any utensil in which there is a fear of ritual impurity, whether it belongs to disbelievers or non-disbelievers, should be washed and eaten from, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If you do not find anything else, wash them and eat from them
فإن لم تجدوا غيرها فاغسلوها وكلوا فيها
