Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Adil, asks: What is the reason, Shaykh, for the person who has eaten garlic, leeks, or onions not being allowed to approach the mosque? And if this person has been prescribed this treatment and eats it continuously, what is the reason for that?
Answer:
Yes, if a person eats garlic or onions, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from entering the mosque, so he prays in his home because he is excused. This is because the smell of garlic and onions harms the worshippers and harms the noble angels. Yes.
