- Abstract
The Ottoman sheikhulislam and his muftis, who had a guiding and determining position on the state and society, gave firm answers to the questions directed to them on various issues, and therefore they in the sense of "solving the difficulties of the people" were given the title of hallâl-ı muşkilat. Ottoman muftis, who generally gave short answers to the questions, contributed to forming a colorful environment in the fatwas by giving verse and artistic answers, sometimes with the help of their literary personalities. These types of fatwas, which generally focus on recreational drinks, could include medical issues and fiqh issues. The most discussed subjects among the enjoyable drinks that were the subject of fatwas were on tobacco and coffee, and in addition to the bans imposed by the state upon the transformation of these into addiction in society, harsh statements about them were also included in the fatwas. On the other hand, some say that these two are not forbidden, even they have some benefits, such as Şeyhülislam Bostanzade Muhammad and Muhammad Bahai Efendi. In addition to the fatwas about tobacco, which the Ottoman society began to recognize from the 16th century, many treatises were written, and the harms of tobacco were explained at length. Şeyhülislam Hocazâde Muhammad Efendi gave many fatwas about tobacco called Duhan, and among them, the ones that were asked and answered in Arabic were found. It is known that Muhammad Efendi, who was seen to give a humorous answer to a question asked about tobacco in Arabic verse, also gave a fatwa in Arabic verse on cannabis. In this article, his fatwa about tobacco is introduced.
