Question
What is the mas'alah with regards to reading the Qur'an while the azaan is going on or to reply to the azaan.

It is permissible for one to continue reciting the Quraan while the azaan is being called out. However, to stop the recitation and reply to the azaan is better.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
