Question:
May Allah reward you. A shaykh says: This questioner states that his treating doctor instructed him to consume a lot of garlic and onions during his treatment for two months to aid in the treatment. So what is my situation regarding prayer in the mosque? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
Yes, use it a period of time before the prayer times so that its smell goes away. Do not eat it when going to the mosque; eat it at an earlier time. Also use the scents or substances that remove the smell of garlic and onions as much as you can. Yes.
