Is this legal to fire someone with these problems?
Find answers to your legal question.

I know of someone who got fired because of body odour problem. Is this legal? It is very obvious because on Friday afternoon, her boss spoke to her about it and the following Tuesday they fired her. What is your opinion?

hmmm...
where are you from? Different states/countries have different laws. I myself was glad the day I got fired... but that certainly was not because of bad body odor.

what part of asia? that makes a big differnce. in china i saw somone get fired cause they liked the same girl as the manager. and the manager straight up told him that too.

That would depend on what country you are in, what culture your company have, and what you are actually into. This might be absurd but If your into marketing perfumes, you wouldn't hire someone with body odor, will you?
