Summary
Scholars differ on leaving the mosque after the adhan without an excuse: some hold it is prohibited and others consider it disliked. This fatwa adopts the Shafi'i view that it is disliked when there is no valid excuse. Leaving is permitted for reasons such as performing ablution outside the mosque, leaving with the intention of returning, going to another mosque for congregational prayer, or an emergency or illness needing urgent treatment. It is better to remain in the mosque and pray in congregation, as a way out of the disagreement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
