Is it permissible to pray while having the smell of sweat, and does that diminish the reward for the prayer?

It is better to perfume oneself with something that removes the smell of sweat before prayer, but the prayer is valid even with the presence of the smell of sweat because it is pure and does not invalidate the prayer.
