Is it permissible to leave the mosque after the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to leave the mosque after the adhan?

Answer:
If he leaves and returns for a need, such as performing wudu, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if he leaves out of a desire to avoid praying in the mosque, that is prohibited. When a man left the mosque after the adhan, one of the Companions said, “This man has disobeyed,” and this was al-Qasim (may Allah be pleased with him). But if he leaves for a valid reason that requires him to go, such as if he is the imam of a mosque or the mu’adhdhin and he goes to the mosque, or if he has an appointment with someone at a specific mosque, that is a valid reason to leave. But if he leaves out of indifference to the prayer in that mosque and has no justification, that is disliked or forbidden. Yes.
