Answer 1

According to social customs people should be clean always. Everyone should shower regularly. You cannot judge an entire nation. That is just Racism. It's human nature, if one don't shower he'll definitely stinks whiter Muslim or whether catholic or Hindu. So, Definitely, It's a false statement to say Muslims smell bad.

Answer 2

I fully support the arguments mentioned in answer 1 above and would like to add that Qur'an says:

"O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of uncleanliness, then purify yourselves...." (5:6) However, many Muslims have drifted away from the teachings of the Qur'an (just like the roommates girlfriend above who moved in with her non-Muslim boyfriend).

Answer 3

  • It's just false accusation that Muslims smell bad. According to The Holy Qur'an, a Muslim has to be clean always. It means he should take shower regularly and use a good cologne. Cleanliness is the number one priority in Islam. So, whoever said that Muslims smell bad, he/she's wrong. & secondly, Muslims pray five times a day and in order to pray, they have to wash their faces, their teeth, their hands and arms and their foots every time they go to prayer. Means they do it five times a day. So, how can someone smell bad if they stay clean so much.
  • This false claim indicates that some people hate Islam and hate Muslims and create false issues about Islam and Muslims. I fully support the arguments mentioned in answer 1 above and would like to add that Qur'an says (meaning English Translation):
"O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves...." (5:6)
  • The other point, I wonder the one who claims that Muslims smell bad, did he/she smelled every Muslim in the world to generalize his/her accusation to all world Muslims.? Did he/she smelled ever non Muslim to assume that they are clean rather than Muslims?

Such claims are rooted in stereotypes and misinformation. Muslims, like people of any other religion, come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, and personal hygiene practices may vary among individuals. It is unfair and inaccurate to generalize and perpetuate negative stereotypes based on religion.

Is it bad if you think White people smell funny?

It is important to treat all individuals with respect and avoid making generalizations based on race. Personal perceptions of smell can vary widely and should not be used as a basis for judging or stereotyping others.


Do some people smell their chickens?

Not quite sure what you mean here. Farmers who work with chickens very quickly lose the ability to smell what visitors can smell around the farm. The odor of manure is quite unpleasant to visitors but to farm workers it is the smell of hard work, life and a sustainable income for his family. If you mean do they sniff their chickens, well, not usually. There is no real need to smell the chickens. They usually keep pretty clean bathing in the dust, rustling around in the hay and straw. They can't smell too bad since you will often see farm kids carrying a hen around and cuddling it like any other household pet.
