<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Contrary to its role in recent centuries, coffee became a subject of debate for some. When the &#039;&#039;fatwa&#039;&#039; came into effect in 1532–1533, coffee and its consumption was established as [[haram]]&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039; This decision most likely came from the idea that like alcohol, coffee had an effect on cognition, albeit different and milder. It is possible that the regulation was implemented in an attempt to limit consumption of other recreational substances such as tobacco and alcohol in the Ottoman and Safavid Empires. Drinking coffee in public places was also scorned. Not only was public consumption seen as taboo, but people would often drink from a communal bowl in a fashion similar to drinking wine. This most likely contributed to the disdain of coffee because its similar style of consumption once again related it to alcohol.</div>
