We advise the questioner to repent and not despair if they relapse, and we warn against despondency. They must repent from masturbation and abandoning prayer, perform ghusl from janabah, and offer the prayer. They are obligated to make up the missed prayers, the number of which they are unaware of, and they owe kaffarah for breaking an oath.
