The ruling on the mu'adhdhin leaving the mosque after the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Another message from Muhammad al-Dawsari. He says: The mu'adhdhin, there are some mu'adhdhins who call the adhan and then leave the mosque, and this happens constantly in our mosques. When the iqamah comes, he rushes in and calls the iqamah for the prayer.

Answer:
This has two cases. The first case is that he leaves for a need and then returns; in that case, there is nothing wrong with it. The second case is that he leaves without a need, simply because he does not want to remain in the mosque; he leaves because he does not want to stay in the mosque, seeking effort in the reward and recompense. This is blameworthy. So the mu'adhdhin should remain in the mosque, and he has reward for that. He should remember Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and pray whatever is easy for him. This is better for him than leaving. As for if a need arises for him and he leaves for it, or to perform wudu' and then returns, then there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
