Is the one who eats garlic and onion excused for missing the congregational prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it true that the one who eats onion or garlic is excused for missing the congregation?

Answer:
He is prohibited from praying with the congregation. The prohibition came from eating garlic or onion, so they should not approach our place of prayer, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, because it offends the angels and offends the worshippers with its smell.
