Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How should the one praying deal with the cleaning staff or others during the times of prayer when they enter the mosque with foul odors and dirty clothes? Do they have an excuse for missing the congregation? Or what should we do? May Allah grant you success.
Answer:
This is a calamity that has occurred recently due to the large number of workers and their odors in the mosques. This is a widespread calamity that cannot be eliminated; it cannot be eliminated. There is nothing to do but be patient while mitigating the matter as much as possible by perfuming the mosque and cleaning it, mitigating the matter as much as possible. Yes.
