708. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Whoever eats of this plant' - the first time he said 'garlic' then he said, 'garlic, onions and leeks'[1] - 'let him not approach us in our Masjids, for the angels are offended by that which offends mankind.'" (Sahîh)
707 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ - قَالَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ: الثُّومِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: الثُّومِ وَالْبَصَلِ وَالْكُرَّاثِ - فَلَا يَقْرَبْنَا فِي مَسَاجِدِنَا؛ فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَتَأَذَّى مِمَّا يَتَأَذَّى مِنْهُ الْإِنْسُ "

Since the mosques are the abodes of the angels of mercy, coming to the mosque having eaten something with a bad odor, whose disgusting smell is likely to spread on one's opening one's mouth or while belching, is prohibited. Such things harm both angels and worshippers. Apart from the three things mentioned above, any substance that causes bad smell is forbidden - for example daikon (mooli), hookah, cigarettes, tobacco-chewing, etc. Some scholars also forbid a person from coming to the mosque if his mouth or any other part of his body emanates bad smell due to disease, and therefore causes people offence.
