Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, regarding eating garlic and onions, is this, Shaykh, when entering the mosque, even if it is not during the times of prayer? Or is this specific to when I go to perform the obligatory prayer?
Answer:
It is forbidden for you to enter the mosque with a bad smell, such as the smell of garlic or onions, at any time, because the mosque is never free of those who are praying and of the angels. However, having this smell during the congregational prayer is more severe, because the worshippers are harmed by it. Yes.
