If the muezzin calls the , the is to repeat the adhan and supplicate thereafter. If one wishes to enter the lavatory during the adhan, or if the adhan is called while one is inside, one should not repeat it verbally but rather in one's heart. If one is unable to delay entry until the repetition is complete, the full reward will be recorded for him, because he was prevented by a hindrance. Hearing the adhan in the bathroom is not sinful. As for the mentioned problem, shar'iyyah is recommended.
