Ruling On Eating Onions And Garlic by Lukgaf(m): 7:23am On Jan 31, 2020
Alhamdulillaah wasalaatu wasalaam ‘ala rasuulillaah

It is not haram to eat onion and garlic. Onion and garlic have offensive odours and it is obligatory to keep the mosque free of offensive odours and to prevent the one who has such an odour from coming to the mosque or staying in it. So, whoever want to eats them, let him cook them to death before eating to avoid annoying other worshippers and angels in the mosque because angels are offended by the same things that offend the sons of Adam.

Al-Bukhaari (5452) and Muslim (564) narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah that the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever eats garlic or onions, let him keep away from us, or keep away from our mosque and stay in his house.” According to a version narrated by Muslim: “Whoever eats onions or garlic or leeks, let him not come near our mosque, for the angels are offended by the same things that offend the sons of Adam.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant let him not approach our mosque and annoy us with the smell of garlic.” Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ (27). Muslim (567) narrated that ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people, you eat two plants which I find to be nothing but repugnant, this onion and garlic. I remember the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), if he noticed their smell coming from a man in the mosque, he would issue orders that he taken out to al-Baqee’. Whoever eats them, let him cook them to death.”

It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa’ (2/365): It is Sunnah to protect every mosque from all kinds of dirt, filth, mucus, nail clippings and hair removed by clipping the moustache, shaving the head or plucking the armpits, because the mosques were not built for that. It is also Sunnah to protect it from offensive smells such as onion, garlic, leeks and similar things, even if there is no one in the mosque, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “the angels are offended by the same things that offend the sons of Adam.” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah); and he said: “Whoever eats from these two plants, let him not come near our place of prayer.” and according to another report: “…let him not come near our mosques.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi who said: It is hasan saheeh.

With regard to the validity of prayer when there is an unpleasant smell in the mouth, it is valid but it is makrooh (disliked). If the prayer is offered in the mosque and this smell is obvious to such an extent that it annoys other worshippers and the angels, then it is haraam. Al-Bukhaari (806) and Muslim (870) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant (i.e., garlic), let him not approach our mosque.”

May Allah grant us understanding of His religion

It is obvious religious rules are a codification of the likes and dislikes of those who have acquired religious power.

Akpan107:
Body odour is likely not a problem!

For you having body odour, you can easily use perfumes and deodorants. It's as simple as that.

As for the Hadith, he (commendations and peace of Allaah be upon him) only did that to show that it isn't a sin, not that it's a recommended act.

There are numerous hadiths that urging the believer to perform ghusl (bath) before intercourse with another wife. In fact the wordings of the previous Hadith says: 'he did it's not 'he used to do it's and the reporters of Hadith are always careful in their choice of words.

Finally, as a popular saying goes: it isn't the food that has problem, it's the sick person's tongue. If you calm down and listen to explanation, there's nothing contradictory in Islam. Rather you'll see the beauty of Islam.
