The reason for the dislike of entering the mosque after eating garlic

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks and says: What is the reason for the dislike of entering the mosque for one who has eaten garlic or onions, and what is the difference in the view of Islam between the smell of garlic and onions?

Answer:
It is disliked that he enters the mosque and bothers the worshippers, because the worshippers are harmed, and the angels in the mosque are harmed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
For the angels are offended by that which offendsإن الملائكة تتأذى مما يتأذى منه
Sunan Ibn Majah 3365Sahih (Darussalam)
O son of Adam,
He said (peace and blessings be upon him): Whoever eats garlic or onions, let him not approach our mosques, but let him sit in his house.قال صلى الله عليه وسلم من أكل ثوما أو بصلا فلا يقربن مصلانا، وليقعد في بيته
to prevent harm to the worshippers, to the angels, and to the houses of Allah the Exalted. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh
