Contrary to what some materialists have thought, religions contain different effects and functions. One of the examples of this efficiency in the Shia school is the fatwa of its jurists. By referring to the history, we can see many cases of influence of fatwa and its effects; In the meantime, Mirza Shirazi's fatwa banning tobacco is considered today as a symbol for the crystallization of the power of the fatwa of Shiite jurists. By examining this fatwa, one can understand the wide effects and consequences that a fatwa can create in different strata of society for different times and even different nations.
