Are the prayers and supplications of one who practiced masturbation accepted without knowing the necessity of ghusl after it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
(ritual bath) from masturbation is obligatory if semen is discharged. If it is not discharged, or if there is doubt about its discharge, then ghusl is not obligatory. If semen is discharged, the prayer is invalid, and according to the majority of scholars, the missed prayers must be made up without ghusl, and this is the more cautious opinion. However, if semen was not discharged, or if you doubted its discharge, then the prayer is valid, and you do not have to make up any prayers. The acceptance of prayer is known only to Allah the Almighty, and supplications before or after prayer are legislated and recommended.
