The ruling on leaving the congregation due to eating onions and garlic
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person eats onions or garlic, is that an excuse for him to leave off performing the congregation?
Answer:
It is not an excuse. Rather, by doing this, he does not go to the mosque because he offends the people, and he sins, and he misses the prayer of the congregation and its reward. This is a punishment for him; it is not a dispensation for him, nor is it permission for him. It is a punishment for him: he misses the prayer of the congregation and the reward of the congregation, and he sins by leaving the congregation because he is the one who caused it. Yes.
