Does one with foul-smelling wounds that bother people attend the congregational prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Now, regarding one who has foul-smelling wounds. I tell you that in the past, people would have foul-smelling wounds because disinfectants were not available and hospitals did not exist. In fact, some people would come to you with such a wound, and you would be disgusted and dislike its smell.

Answer : Is he excused or not? Yes, he is excused, he is excused. But we do not say his excuse is like that of a sick person or similar, unless he delays the congregational prayer out of fear that the pain of the wound will increase, because smells sometimes affect wounds and worsen them. In that case, he is excused and falls under the category of the sick.
