2831. 'Urwah bin Ruwaim Al-Lakhmi narrated that Abu Tha'labah Al-Khushani — whom he said he met and spoke with — said: "I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and asked him: 'O Messenger of Allâh! Can we cook in the vessels of the idolators?' He said: 'Do not cook in them.' I said: 'What if we need them and cannot find anything else?' He said: 'Wash them well, then cook and eat.'" (Sahih)
2831 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو فَرْوَةَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ رُوَيْمٍ اللَّخْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، - قَالَ: وَلَقِيَهُ وَكَلَّمَهُ - قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قُدُورُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ نَطْبُخُ فِيهَا؟ قَالَ «لَا تَطْبُخُوا فِيهَا» . قُلْتُ: فَإِنِ احْتَجْنَا إِلَيْهَا فَلَمْ نَجِدْ مِنْهَا بُدًّا؟ قَالَ: «فَارْحَضُوهَا رَحْضًا حَسَنًا، ثُمَّ اطْبُخُوا وَكُلُوا»

One must be careful of using the utensils of non-Muslims. The reason behind this carefulness is that they drink wine in their utensils as well as cook and eat the meat of dead animals in them. If one needs to use the utensils of such non-Muslims then he has to wash them thoroughly, or clean them with soil, and then he may eat and drink in them. If a non-Muslim is a servant of a Muslim and eats in his house, then his utensils may be used after having cleaned them. The container which is not used for wine, but used only for water, could be used for drinking water even if it is for a non-Muslim. However, it should be washed.
