Is it permissible to drink juice from a wine glass?

Question: 133513

What if the ruling on drinking juice from a wine glass?.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

It is better for a Muslim to avoid using vessels that are
used in the cooking of pork and drinking of alcohol, but if he cannot find
anything else then it is permissible for him to use them on condition that
he wash them with water before use. 

It was narrated from Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani that he asked
the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): We live
close to some the people of the Book and they cook pork in their pots and
drink wine in their vessels. The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) said: “If you can find something else, eat and drink from
it. If you cannot find anything else, then wash them with water and eat and
drink.” 

Narrated by Abu Dawood (3839); it is also narrated in
al-Saheehayn.

We do not think that things are so difficult for Muslims
nowadays that they cannot find anything from which to drink juice except
from wine glasses. 

Moreover, if he drinks juice from a wine glass this opens the
door to slander against this person who is drinking. Anyone who sees him may
think that he is drinking alcohol. What the believer should do is close
every door that may lead to people gossiping about him. 

But if the intention of the one who drinks from a wine glass
is to imitate those who drink alcohol in the way they drink, then in that
case it is haraam to drink from that glass, because imitating people who are
evildoers and immoral is something that is haraam.
