Answer:
Yes, this is a statement from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that the bad smell that occurs in the mouth of the fasting person is more pleasing to Allah than the scent of musk, because it arises from obedience to Allah; it is a trace of obedience to Allah. So Allah loves it, even though people dislike it, because it is beloved to Allah since it originated from obedience to Allah due to the emptiness of the stomach from food. Yes, this smell comes out.
