Is it obligatory to make up missed prayers along with the current day's prayers due to repeated laziness in performing ghusl for janabah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Masturbation is forbidden and has great harms, and it necessitates ghusl (ritual bath) upon the emission of semen. If masturbation is repeated several times a day before ghusl, then one ghusl is sufficient. However, if it occurs after ghusl, another ghusl is required. It is not permissible to abandon prayers or delay them until the next day due to laziness in performing ghusl; rather, one must perform ghusl and offer the prayer at its prescribed time. One must repent to Allah and maintain the prayers in the future, while making up all missed prayers. If you do not know their number, then continue to make them up until you are reasonably certain that you have fulfilled your obligation.
