Guidance for those who harm the worshippers with a foul smell in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Some of those who attend the lesson, may Allah guide them, harm the students with the smell of garlic emanating from them. What is your guidance for him and those like him?
Answer:
It harms the students, it harms the worshippers, it harms the angels, and it disrespects the mosque. So the brothers who have these smells should remove them. There are things that remove these smells, and they know this. They should not eat garlic or onions when they come to the mosque. They do not eat them, and they come to the mosque five times a day and night. So they do not eat onions or garlic unless they are cooked, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
