The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

Watermelon is among the fruits that the Prophet (pbuh) loved and ate.

It is makruh to go to the mosque after eating raw onions and garlic. For, people may be disturbed due to their bad smell. The Prophet (pbuh) did not generally eat onions and garlic because he was always with people and led prayers. However, we have no information showing that he never ate onions or garlic.
