Question

Shalom and blessings!
Is it permitted to study or pray when the undergarment smells bad? (such as a sweaty undershirt, etc.)
When the smell does not spread to others.

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

If it cannot be smelled from the outside, there is no problem at all. 

Even if it can be smelled from the outside, generally the smell of sweat is not considered a foul odor, except for an unusually strong smell that people regard as actual filth.
