Is it authentically reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or his Companions, consumed warm beverages? Is it better to drink only cold beverages without artificial sweeteners? Did they drink anything other than water, honey, and milk? And is drinking hot beverages harmful and not in accordance with the Sunnah?

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to eat and drink what his people were accustomed to from permissible things, and so did his Companions after the conquests. Ibn Taymiyyah clarified that eating and drinking from the staple foods and wearing the clothes available in one's country is following the Sunnah, citing that the Companions ate from the provisions of their new lands. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, drank cold water because it accorded with his custom, nature, and the climate of his country. There is no harm for a Muslim to eat and drink what is permissible in his country, even if the Prophet did not partake of it. The Prophet abstained from eating the dabb (spiny-tailed lizard) because it was not found in the land of his people, but he did not forbid it. The general rule for things is permissibility. If a drink is very hot, it is recommended to leave it until its intense heat subsides, because it is more blessed. There is no harm in drinking permissible hot beverages like coffee and tea after their intense heat has subsided, and whoever claims that this contradicts the Sunnah is mistaken.
