Question
Heavy smokers emit an awful stench which disturbs musallis in the Musjid. Can a musalli elect not to stand alongside such a smoker in the saff? If a musalli emits such awful stench, can I leave my position in the saff to stand elsewhere?
Answer
Yes, you may stand elsewhere. The smoker, before coming to the Musjid is incumbently required to thoroughly wash his mouth and to change his clothes if these are emitting the offensive odour of tobacco. A heavy smoker stinks. He reeks of tobacco which is offensive to the Malaaikah. If he still emits such odour at the time of death, then he will be deprived of the Malaaikah of Rahmat.
