DOS AND DON�TS

There are many dos and don�ts.  For example, to wear shoes while praying is permissible (1129-1130), but clothes having designs and markings on them are distracting and should be avoided (1131-1133).  The Prophet commanded the believer that while praying �he should not spit in front of him, for Allah is in front of him when he is engaged in prayer� (1116).  According to another tradition, he �forbade spitting on the right side or in front, but it is permissible to spit on the left side or under the left foot� (1118).

To eat onion or garlic is not harAm (forbidden), but Muhammad found their odors �repugnant� (1149) and therefore forbade coming to the mosque after eating them, �for the angels are harmed by the same things as men� (1145).
