Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It was reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the prohibition of eating garlic when one intends to go to the mosque, and that the angels are distressed by it. He asks: Is this matter correct?

This is an authentic hadith.
Whoever has eaten garlic or onionمن أكل ثوما أو بصلا
Sahih al-Bukhari 7359
They should not approach our mosque or our place of prayer, for the angels are distressed by what distresses a human being. Yes.
