Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person praying to break his prayer if he is praying next to someone who has eaten garlic or onions, or who has the smell of smoke on him, and he cannot bear this smell?
Answer:
This is a trial that one must bear. He should complete his prayer and advise the one who has wronged the mosque and the worshippers. He should advise him and remind him of the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but he should not break his prayer. May Allah have mercy on him, if Allah wills.
