Assuming you are referring to canning fruit, you should always sterilize jars before using them to preserve anything. Sterilizing jars is the only way to ensure that they will be safe for consumption and remain edible over a longer period of time.

Is it safe? It is a risky practice, because you have no way of knowing where that jar has been or what has had contact with it.
