Riyad as-Salihin
The Book of the Prohibited actions · Undesirability of Entering the Mosque after Eating raw Onion or Garlic
Arabic
- وعن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه أنه خطب يوم الجمعة فقال في خطبته: ثم إنكم أيها الناس تأكلون شجرتين ما أراهما إلا خبيثتين: البصل، والثوم -لقد رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا وجد ريحهما من الرجل في المسجد أمر به، فأخرج إلى البقيع، فمن أكلهما، فليمتهما طبخًا. ((رواه مسلم)).
English translation
It has been narrated that 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) said in the sermon of Friday prayer: "O you people! You eat garlic and onion. I think the odour of these to be very offensive. I saw that if the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) happened to find a man with such offensive odour in the mosque, he would order him to be taken out of the mosque and sent to Al-Baqi'. He who wants to eat any of these, should cook them till their odour dies out. [Muslim].
