Praying at home for one who is bothered by the smell of the worshippers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a person who has allergies, and I am bothered by the smell of many of the worshippers. Is it permissible for me to pray alone in my house?
Answer:
If this harms you and affects you, you may pray in your house until this obstacle is removed. However, if this does not harm you and does not affect you, but rather it is just that it is not suitable for you, then be patient with it. Also, place something in your place of isolation that prevents the smells from entering.
