In the Name of Allah, most Compassionate, most Merciful

 

 


It comes as no surprise that the Muslims of the ummah are so far away from Islam, they commit haram even at very minor issues. One of the most common haram that goes unnoticed among the Muslims is the eating of raw Garlic and Onions. 

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.363 Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah
The Prophet said, "Whoever has eaten garlic or onion should keep away from us."

This clearly states the prohibition of garlic or onion because if a person eats them, then he is not allowed to deal with the current affairs of the ummah as long as the residue of the food is on him. Not even to do salah with the believers.

Al-Muwatta Hadith 1.30
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al-Musayyab that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who eats this plant should not come near our mosques. The smell of the garlic will offend us."

Something that offends the believers is what is prohibited in Islam. There is a relaxation for eating garlic or onion because Prophet (S) allowed it to be cooked until the smell is dead. The same reason people were made to stay at home even after that they smell like onion or garlic.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 3818 Narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Qurrah
The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade these two plants, and he said: He who eats them should not come near our mosque. If it is necessary to eat them, make them dead by cooking, that is, onions and garlic.
