โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
May one squeeze fruits in one's mouth on Shabbat?
Answer:
One may hold a fruit to oneโs lips and suck out its juice. This is both an unusual way of squeezing and also considered more similar to eating than squeezing, since the extraction is being done in oneโs mouth. However, it is proper to be stringent and not suck a grape or olive for its juice, even though strictly speaking it is permitted.[1] If one puts the grape or olive in his mouth and sucks the juice from it, that is completely permissible and there is no need to be stringent even if one does so specifically for the juice and discards the peel once the juice has been sucked out of it.[2]
Sources:
[1]. See Bet Yosef, 320:1 โVeKatuvโ who implies that his conclusion is that it is permitted to suck juice from a fruit, unlike the Yereim ยง247 and others who are stringent. This is also the opinion of the Rama 320:1; Machazik Berachah 320:1; Ben Ish Chai, Yitro 2:8; Mishnah Berurah 320:12; Yabia Omer, vol. 8, 25:2; Chazon Ovadia, Shabbat, vol. 4, pp. 142-144.
