Is it disliked to eat garlic and onions, and is one who eats garlic or onions prevented from attending the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He means, sometimes he comes from work, just as the 'Asr prayer is about to begin. And he has not eaten lunch, O Shaykh. So do we perform it for him specially, if he is fond of onions? No, do not take the onions.
The Shaykh : I say, eat. Oh.
The questioner : And do not pray, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This situation is different, if Allah wills. And by Allah, this
The Shaykh : In any case, if he wants to eat, let him eat; there is no obstacle. But even so, I see that one should say to him: Between you and your eating is only the prayer, just half an hour, and then you eat.
The questioner : Should it be said frankly?
The Shaykh : As long as the Messenger saidSahih Muslim 565 Allah has made lawful... I told you, no.
The questioner : What is it to me.
The Shaykh : Then the Messenger pointed and said, "Bring it closer" to some of his Companions. When he saw that he had not eaten, as if he had paused, he said, "Eat, for I am conversing with One with whom you do not converse," because he was conversing with Jibril (peace be upon him) when the revelation descended.
The questioner : But the reality, O Shaykh, here is a matter. Yes, I say, a matter that truly causes surprise. It is that garlic, onions, and leeks have medical benefits, truly astonishing. People have started reading about them in medical books and are amazed at the multitude of benefits these foods contain. And yet, we find that these three share a common factor, and with them are also garlic and coriander seeds. These are great benefits, and yet all of them are united by a foul smell. Yes. So is there a wisdom
The Shaykh : But if it is cooked, do these benefits disappear?
The questioner : They go, and their benefits go.
The Shaykh : Yes, most of it, O Shaykh, most of it. Fadhil. No, if you cook it, not a strong cooking, but in between.
The questioner : It is not like the raw state. Now, garlic, if it is raw and fresh, meaning I mean recently harvested, it becomes hot and stings. But when it is cooked, it becomes an ordinary piece. Some scholars mentioned that if you swallow the fava bean, no smell is emitted, and you also obtain the benefit.
The Shaykh : Correct, the chickpea, yes, correct. This is perhaps, but the problem is in the stomach; it appears that it must be broken down, it must be broken down.
The questioner : Then he said in Badr.
The Shaykh : And otherwise, yes, if he swallows it whole, its smell does not appear.
The questioner : Shaykh, you have presented the public interest.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : So it is serving the public interest over the private interest, and as for the obligation
The Shaykh : It is noted that he says, "I do not want to leave the mosque."
The questioner : But I say, what is your opinion, O Shaykh, meaning, is this plant?
The Shaykh : I see that the best health is sufficient for everything, as if people are living in health and they do not eat onions.
The Shaykh : I say, eat. Oh.
The questioner : And do not pray, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This situation is different, if Allah wills. And by Allah, this

The questioner : Should it be said frankly?
The Shaykh : As long as the Messenger said
I cannot forbid (the use of a thing) which Allah has made lawful
ليس بي تحريم ما أحل اللهThe questioner : What is it to me.
