Permissibility of going to the mosque for one who has eaten garlic and then removed its odor
His Eminence the Shaykh: Regarding garlic and onions, some say: The evidence has come regarding the prohibition of eating these two plants and going to the mosque,Some of them say: I use toothpaste, or I eat cardamom, and the odor goes away, so what is the ruling on that?
Onions, garlic, and leeks are all lawful;Because when the Companions said: They were not made forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not for me to forbid what Allah has made lawful". But if one eats them with the intention of not praying with the congregation, he is sinful, and the sin of missing the congregation does not fall off him. And if he eats them for a purpose or because he craves them, there is no sin on him.And we say to him: Do not go to the mosque as long as the odor is present. But if the odor has gone away, there is nothing wrong with going to the mosque.
