Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Does the congregational prayer become excused for one who has eaten garlic or onions? And is eating them considered forbidden?
Answer:
The congregational prayer does not become excused; it is obligatory for him. However, he does not go to it so as not to harm the worshippers. Thus, he loses the congregational prayer and its reward. It has not been excused from him; rather, he is prevented in order to prevent his harm to the people. So he loses the congregational prayer and the reward of the congregational prayer, and he commits a sin by doing so.
