The ruling on entering the mosque with the smell of garlic

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I use garlic while going to prayer, as directed by the doctor, so I put on a mask during the prayer. Is that permissible for me?

Answer:
If this is a continuous condition, it is not obligatory for you to maintain it continuously. Rather, reduce the smell and try to mitigate it by wearing a mask or taking something that removes the odor. Address the issue and do not abandon the congregational prayer. However, if you are healthy and have eaten onions or garlic, and the smell remains on you, do not go to the mosque until it disappears. Yes.
