The answer

There is no need to repeat the (ritual bath) or the prayer, as the default assumption is the absence of a barrier, and no attention should be paid to whispers (of doubt). One must abandon masturbation through repentance, and fingernails should not be left long, as this is against the and fitra (natural disposition).
