Is it permissible for a group of travelers to eat onions and pray in congregation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you, if a group of travelers agree to eat onions
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : It is permissible, O Shaykh
The Shaykh : And what is permissible?
The questioner : Eating onions
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, but some scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, say that if they eat onions, they should not pray in congregation, because it is disliked for the one who eats onions to attend the congregation. This is a matter of consideration, and the correct view is that they eat onions and pray in congregation, but they do not come to the mosques so that the angels are not harmed by it.
The questioner : Travelers, O Shaykh
The Shaykh : I understand now. We say there is nothing wrong with them eating onions, leeks, and garlic, because they are all of the same kind.
The questioner : Oh Shaykh
The Shaykh : One last thing
The questioner : O Shaykh, there is a supplication
The Shaykh : I took it, I took it, I took it. Do not repeat the question.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Do not repeat it, my brother. Did you not take it before?
The questioner : Oh Shaykh
The Shaykh : Yes, the one who did not ask.
The questioner : Is there a question, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
