Ruling on congregational prayer for one whose smell is unpleasant due to his profession?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Naturally, in his work, an unpleasant smell comes out, like that of a fishmonger. Is he excused from attending the congregation, like a guard, or what should he do?

Answer:
If he offends people with his unpleasant smell, yes, he does not pray with the people until he cleans himself.
Q: The times for prayer come while he is at work, and an unpleasant smell is emanating from him?
The Shaykh: If he is able to remove what is on him and then attend the congregation, it is obligatory for him.
Q: If he is not able?
The Shaykh: He is like the one who has eaten garlic.
