Eating onions and garlic and abandoning the congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the one who persists in eating onions and garlic excused for abandoning the congregation, and does this constitute a valid legal excuse for him?
Answer:
No, the one who intentionally does this and makes it a habit is not excused for it. But the one who eats it once out of necessity, or is ignorant of the ruling once, is forbidden from praying with him. This prohibition is a punishment for him, not a relaxation for him. It is a punishment for him; he is forbidden from the mosque and from the congregational prayer, or it is a punishment for him. Yes.
