The questioner:
He asks: Is going out to the countryside for a walk for a day or more an excuse for the mu'adhdhin appointed by the Waqf to leave off the adhan?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the mu'adhdhin goes out for a walk some of the time and appoints someone to take his place, there is nothing wrong with that, because he also needs the same relaxation, going out, and enjoyment of Allah's (Mighty and Majestic) bounty that others need. But he must appoint someone to take his place. If someone takes his place, he has fulfilled what is required of him.

May Allah reward you,
