The ruling on the prayer of one who eats garlic or onions in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person eats garlic, onions, or something else that produces a bad smell, and then enters the prayer, does he pray while having this smell, or does he not pray?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented him from attending the mosque because it harms the worshippers. However, if he is able to remove this smell, for example by finding things that remove it, then he should remove it. But if it remains on him, is apparent, and spreads to those around him, then he should not pray in the mosque, because by doing so he would be going against the prohibition of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
