The answer

Masturbation is forbidden, and one must repent from it. Ablution (wudu) is invalidated by anything that exits from either of the two private parts. A ritual bath () is not required for remaining traces of semen; wudu suffices.

If masturbation leads to the emission of madhy (pre-seminal fluid), wudu is required, and the private part must be washed. If it leads to the emission of maniy (semen), then a ghusl for major ritual impurity () is required. If you did not perform the necessary purification and prayed, your prayer is invalid, and you must repeat it. If you do not know the number of prayers you missed, estimate a number that ensures you are cautious regarding your worship, and increase in supererogatory prayers and seeking forgiveness.
