Is it obligatory to make up the prayers for which one did not perform ghusl due to the absence of semen emission, knowing that the relied-upon opinion is its emission and not its mere transference?
The well-known opinion in the Hanbali madhhab is that ghusl becomes obligatory upon the displacement of semen from its place, even if it does not exit. Therefore, the obligatory prayers performed before ghusl must be made up. It is permissible to follow the opinion of the majority of scholars, as a common person is not bound to follow a specific madhhab.
