The answer

It is permissible to eat onions, unless doing so leads to constant flatulence that is continuous throughout all time, in which case it should not be eaten. However, if the emission of gas is frequent but not continuous throughout all time, then it is permissible to eat it, and the person should pray in their home with proper ablution. We have previously clarified that whoever eats garlic and onions is not permitted to attend the mosque until their odor dissipates, and that one who suffers from flatulence is permitted to miss congregational prayer at the mosque.
