Standing up for ablution during the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, some shaykhs mention that standing up for ablution from the mosque during the adhan is similar to the devil. Is this correct?

Answer:
No, that is not correct. This is for a need and a necessity, which is the wudu'. There is no harm, if Allah wills. However, it is better for him to sit and follow the mu'adhdhin until he finishes, and then come to the dhikr. Unless he fears that he will miss the congregational prayer. If he fears that he will miss the congregation, he goes out, even if the adhan is being called and he is performing wudu'. Yes.
