What is the ruling on prayer when semen or fluid is discharged due to viewing semi-naked images of women or meeting them in person, which leads to feelings of lust and an inability to stop the discharge of semen?

Allah has commanded the believers to lower their gaze, and the Prophet warned that the eye commits adultery and its adultery is gazing. Therefore, it is impermissible to let one's gaze roam freely upon what Allah has forbidden. Whoever falls into this must repent and return to Allah. If semen is discharged, (ritual bath) becomes obligatory, and if it is discharged during prayer, the prayer is invalidated and must be repeated after ghusl.
