Question

Hello, A person who prays in a minyan on a day when there is Torah reading. What is considered fulfilling the obligation? If he was in the restroom during the first few verses on Shabbat, has he fulfilled the obligation of Torah reading?

Answer

Hello 

A. When present in a minyan and the Torah is being read, he certainly intends to fulfill the obligation. 

B. The obligation is to hear what is being read, but it is not a hindrance if he did not hear, and therefore in such a case, there is no need to hear it again.
