It is permissible for someone engaged in intercourse to continue at the sound of the Adhan, and he is not required to stop except at the second Adhan for Fajr on a day when fasting is obligatory; in this case, he must stop immediately. It is disliked for someone engaged in intercourse to repeat what the Muezzin says, by analogy with someone relieving himself. He should repeat the Adhan after completing intercourse. This dislike is one of tanzih (disapprobation) and not tahrim (prohibition).
