Does the reciter seek refuge if he interrupts his recitation to respond to the mu'adhdhin?

The Shaykh : He says: If a reciter interrupts his recitation of the Qur'an to respond to the mu'adhdhin, or to return a salam, or to speak to someone, is he required to seek refuge (istighfar) if he wants to resume the recitation? The answer is no, because he did not intend to stop the recitation. However, if he intended to stop the recitation and then decided to start again, he should repeat the seeking of refuge. Did you understand? Similarly, if a person leaves the mosque to perform wudu' with the intention of returning, he is not required to pray the greeting of the mosque (Tahiyyat al-Masjid). But if he leaves with the intention of going away and not returning, and then decides to come back—even if he only returns to the threshold of the mosque—he must pray the greeting of the mosque. Did you understand? This is 'Ali ibn Salih al-Hammami. Yes.
