The excuse for missing the congregational prayer due to eating onions

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you, is one excused for missing the congregational prayer if he has eaten it?

Answer:
Yes, he said
and let him sit in his house,وليقعد في بيته،
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
and let him sit in his house and beوليقعد في بيته ويكون
he is sinful. It is not a dispensation for him; this is a warning to him. He is sinful because he ate the onion and prevented himself from the congregational prayer, because the angels are bothered by the smell of the onion and the worshippers are bothered by it. Yes, so this is a discipline for him. Yes.
