Question:
And between every thing. A person was in the habit of taking the victory, and that he would have Abu al-Sawwa, and Abu al-Mu'minin.
Answer:
Yes, it prevents the cause that prevents him from attending the congregational prayer. As for him attending the congregational prayer with the smell of onions and harming them, he is sinful for that, he is sinful for that. And leaving the congregational prayer for this cause makes him sinful, because he is the one who did the cause that delays him from the mosque. So he should avoid this onion or this garlic or this garment. He should avoid it, and if it is necessary, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
