Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an with Chewing Gum in the Mouth, and Ruling on the Prayer of One Who Has Eaten Garlic
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man was seen reciting the Qur'an with chewing gum in his mouth. What is the ruling on that? He also eats garlic after the 'Isha' prayer and says: "The duration is long, and I use toothpaste and a toothbrush before the Fajr prayer to reduce the smell, and I eat it for medical treatment;Because the doctor said: it cleanses the intestines? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.
-First: I do not think he articulates the letters properly if he recites while chewing; because the points of articulation will be occupied by the gum. It is well known that it is not permissible for a person to recite the Qur'an unless he clarifies its letters to the extent of his ability. So if he wants to recite the Qur'an, let him leave the gum.
As for the issue of garlic, that he eats it before he sleeps and removes its smell before he gets up: The ruling revolves around what is found. If the effect of the smell remains and affects those around him; then it is not permissible for him to enter the mosque. Rather, it is obligatory for him to pray in his home to remove his harm, not to grant him a dispensation,Meaning: Some people say: If we tell the one who eats garlic, onions, and the like of these types to pray in his home, that this is a dispensation for him and an easing of the rule,We say: No, rather it is to remove his harm;Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Let them not approach our mosques, for the angels are harmed by what harms people) So there is no doubt that he harms the angels. And if he is among the followers, he harms the praying people to his right and left,But it was said to me: that there are toothpastes and things that remove the smell, I do not know.
If he eats it for medical treatment, there is no blame on him,But he does not pray with the congregation until it is removed, meaning: If someone were to say, perhaps someone would come and say: I do not pray in congregation; because I ate garlic so that I would not pray,We said: This is forbidden. Is not travel in Ramadan permissible, and he will break his fast in Ramadan, and it is an obligatory pillar of Islam? But if he travels in order to break his fast, travel and breaking the fast become forbidden for him.
