Some of the praying brothers eat garlic and onions, causing discomfort to those next to them in the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the praying brothers eat garlic and onions, and the person next to them is bothered by the smell in the mosque. Is this action permissible?

The Shaykh:
Yes, what is the action? Being bothered

The questioner:
He eats garlic and onions.

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade entering the mosque for one who has eaten garlic or onions. He becomes a transgressor against the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not permissible to eat garlic and onions and then go to the mosque to bother the praying people and to bother the angels.
