Question
I have guava juice that has the sanctity of Shemitta. To the best of my knowledge, this fruit is not usually squeezed. May I drink it?
Answer
If one already squeezed it, it is permitted to drink this juice, but it must be treated with the sanctity of Shemitta. Likewise, one may not buy it from someone who squeezes such fruits.
