Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In this blessed month, some people use garlic and onions. What is the reason for the dislike of entering the mosque for one who has eaten garlic or onions? And what is the difference, in the view of Islam, between the smell of garlic and onions and the smell of smoke?
Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade one who has eaten garlic or onions from entering the mosque because it harms the worshippers and the noble angels who are in the mosque. If one has a bad smell, like that of garlic or onions, he does not enter the mosque until he removes it. He should not consume these things, garlic and onions, when prayer is near; he should consume them at an earlier time and remove the smell. Yes.
