Question

I have guava juice sanctified with the holiness of the Shemitah year. To the best of my knowledge, it is not customary to juice it. Is it permissible to drink it?

Answer

If it has already been juiced, it is permissible to drink it, but it must be preserved with the holiness of the Shemitah. Additionally, one should not purchase from those who juice it.
