 One of the important issues in the field of medical jurisprudence is energy drinks. Stimulating and invigorating substances in these drinks, especially sugar and sweeteners, caffeine, special plant extracts, amino acids, preservatives, organic acids and vitamins of group "B" have caused challenges in the field of medical and jurisprudential sciences, despite the fact that it is welcomed by youth and teenagers for the purpose of empowerment and relief of fatigue.

 This study has been done in relation to the status of energy drinks in the light of jurisprudence rules with a descriptive-analytical method.

 By studying jurisprudential views on consumption of energy drinks, we find that among the jurists there are three views regarding the permissibility, severe abhorrence or sanctions and stopping. The results indicate that consumption of energy drinks has different jurisprudential definitions according to the conditions and age groups. Scholars agree that energy drinks are forbidden for unhealthy groups. According to the rules regarding the maintenance of the five necessities, especially self-preservation, as well as the basic rule of “The ruling revolves around its cause, whether it is present or not” and some correct religious texts, it is not only permissible for healthy age groups as they are tonic and invigorating but also recommended.
