Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, regarding garlic and onions and entering the mosque, what is the reason for the dislike of that?
Answer:
Yes, anything that has a foul smell that harms the worshippers and the angels, one does not enter the mosque with it. Rather, he cleans his mouth of it and does what removes the foul smell, then he comes to the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever eats garlic or onions should not approach our mosque, but should sit in his house. This is a way of disciplining him and depriving him of the congregational prayer and entering the mosque; it is a way of disciplining and correcting him. Yes.
