What is the ruling on one who breaks multiple oaths? Is only one expiation required? And must one inspect after every prayer if they have excessive discharge to repeat it, or should they seek a time when they are pure?
If there are multiple oaths concerning a single matter and one breaks them, then only one expiation is required. However, if the oaths pertain to multiple matters, scholars differ; the more cautious approach is to offer expiation for each oath. If you do not know their number, then exert your best effort to reach certainty or a strong presumption of being absolved.
As for the discharges, there is no need to investigate them. It is sufficient for you to assume the original state, which is their non-emission. If you are certain of their emission, perform ablution (wudu') for prayer. There is no need for ritual cleansing (') because they are pure. If their emission is continuous, such that you do not find a time sufficient for purification, then perform ablution after the time for prayer begins and pray as much as you wish.
