The questioner : ...entire countries.
The Shaykh : They eat these things.
The questioner : And they are not bothered by some ...
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Meaning their mosques become inactive ...
The Shaykh : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cited the harm to the angels as the reason. If he had said, "That harms the children of Adam," we would have said, if everyone eats it, some of them do not find fault with what others do.
The questioner : But the angels are the reason; the angels are harmed by what harms the children of Adam.
The Shaykh : Well done.
The questioner : They are not bothered ...
The Shaykh : Yes, hmm, do angels surround them like them? The angels are harmed by what harms the children of Adam.
The questioner : But now, most Islamic countries are in this state.
The Shaykh : No, they may eat something where the smell does not appear. They might mix their food with some onion where the smell does not appear, meaning, for example, they put it in the salad, but the smell does not appear on the surface.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : But the smell does not appear; we seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan.
The student: If one eats onion and garlic, the smell never goes away until ... you enter the mosque and it is like onion, except for whom Allah has mercy. The salad, the smell does not go away, O Shaykh, meaning if it is in the salad, it is as if you just ate it now.
The Shaykh : No, my intention is that the salad is not, meaning one of ten other cloves withers. Garlic is stronger, yes, correct.
