The ruling on one who eats onions and misses the congregational prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person eats onions, is he allowed to miss the congregational prayer, or should he look for another mosque with a smaller congregation? He should miss the congregational prayer so as not to harm them, and he is forbidden from attending the congregational prayer for this reason.
Answer:
This is a severe punishment: he is forbidden from attending the congregational prayer and from going to the mosque because of the smell of onions, as it harms the mosque and the worshippers. His punishment is that he is forbidden from going to the mosque, forbidden from the steps that are recorded for him, and forbidden from the reward of the congregation. This necessitates that he not eat onions near the time of prayer, because this causes him to miss the congregational prayer. Yes.
