Question

A person staying in a village with the odor from the farm and chicken coop, is he allowed to study and pray?

Answer

If the odor bothers him, it is forbidden, but once he gets used to the smell, it is permitted. He can spray air freshener until the odor no longer bothers him, and then he can study or pray.
