Delaying in the row due to the bad breath of a neighbor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When I pray, sometimes in the mosque, there is a person next to me whose breath smells very bad, to the point that I feel pain in my stomach from the smell. Is it permissible for me to move back to the rear row during the prayer for this reason?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it to remove the harm. There is nothing wrong with you moving back to the rear row. Yes.
