Leaving the mosque during the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan, and a person wants to leave the mosque, is it permissible for him to leave while the adhan is being called? And is there any resemblance to Satan in this action?

Answer:
If he needs to leave, he may leave even if the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan. If he intends to return, there is no harm. He may perform wudu, take something, or eat something and then return; there is no harm. This is for a need, or if he has an appointment at another mosque or another place, he may go there; there is no harm, for that is a valid purpose. Yes.
