Prohibiting one who has a foul smell from entering the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My brother Sa'd, is it permissible to prevent him from the mosque by analogy with the camel and the cow?
Answer:
If he has a foul smell, he is not prevented; prevention is not the ruling. However, he commits a sin. He commits a sin if he enters the mosque with a foul smell, whether from garlic, onions, or smoke; he sins by doing so. As for us preventing people from the mosques and saying, "You are sinners because of the onions," or not? No, this has not been reported.
