The ruling on entering the mosque for one who has eaten garlic or onion for medical treatment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person eats garlic or onion for the purpose of treatment, is it permissible for him to enter the mosque?

Answer:
For whatever purpose he ate it, for whatever purpose, he does not enter the mosque until the smell goes away; because the operative cause is the harm that befalls the angels and the worshippers. It is not a matter of looking at the reason he ate it, but rather the effect that results. Yes.
