Chapter: Regarding using the vessel of the people of the book.
Sunan Abu Dawud 3838 — Regarding using the vessel of the people
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، وَإِسْمَاعِيل ، عَنْ بُرْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنُصِيبُ مِنْ آنِيَةِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَسْقِيَتِهِمْ فَنَسْتَمْتِعُ بِهَا ، فَلَا يَعِيبُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ " .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: I was on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We got the vessels and skins of the polytheists and used them. But he did not object to them (i. e. us) for that (action).
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: Regarding the vessels of the polytheists or the People of the Book, when it is certain that their vessels are clean and pure, and not contaminated by any unlawful (haram) substance, then there is no harm in using them. However, if there is doubt, then they should be washed and purified. Especially in Christian, Jewish, and polytheist countries, it is predominantly assumed that those people do not abstain from unlawful things, so in such places, it is necessary to wash (the vessels) as a precaution.
