What is the ruling regarding the prayers I performed before I knew that semen is discharged with the tremor of intercourse, given that I used to think the fluid discharged was madhy (prostatic fluid)?

A woman's maniy (seminal fluid) is thin and yellow, though it may become white due to strong desire. Its odor is like that of a man's maniy, and one experiences pleasure upon its emission, followed by a weakening of the body's strength. If these characteristics do not apply to what you observed, then it is not considered maniy, and you are not required to perform . Your previous prayers are valid. The tremor you mentioned is likely the minor pleasure that precedes madhiy (pre-seminal fluid), not maniy. Ghusl is only obligatory when maniy is discharged with its known characteristics.
