Does the one relieving himself follow the mu'adhdhin, and does he make up what he missed after finishing?

The questioner : When he hears the adhan...
The Shaykh : First, the word "repeat" — I have a note on this, because... repeating is only done if some people say that when the mu'adhdhin says "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar" twice, they repeat it. This is called following the adhan. In any case, I pointed this out during the explanation. I said there is no explicit evidence prohibiting dhikr in the bathroom, but the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said: If a person is relieving himself, meaning urinating or defecating, he does not respond. And when he finishes, he makes up what he missed.
