Sometimes the mosques do not have enough space, so people pray outside the mosque. Is it permissible for someone who has eaten onions or garlic to pray with them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : ... Sometimes people pray outside the mosque ... Is the intention prayer inside the mosque?

The Shaykh : If it is outside the mosque, there is no harm, because he did not enter the mosque. However, it can be said regarding his statement:

Let him not approach our place of prayer

فلا يقربن مصلانا

This implies that he should keep his distance.
